When I counsel people, shame often emerges from their hearts—sometimes as a result of their own sin and sometimes from others’ sin.

Theories over CenturiesOver the centuries, theologians have articulated several different theories or models of the atonement. Most of the models get something right, though some are much closer to the mark than others. We will look at ten models, concluding with penal substitution, which is at the heart of the atonement and the “theory” that holds all the biblical insights of the other theories together. 1. Recapitulation theory (Irenaeus).

How an ancient African bishop championed the incarnation's redemptive arc. Advent celebrates the most joyous news in the world, but it can feel cheapened by the holiday commercialization and the busyness of the season. That's why I read one book every year, beyond the Bible itself, that cuts through the veneer of cultural spirituality and takes me deeper into the meaning of Christmas.

Whether you’re watching the news or scrolling through social media, it’s clear that politics has invaded every space and brought with it tension and division.

Multiple Dimensions of Christ’s AchievementThe death of Christ is a multidimensional accomplishment within a story that begins in the garden and ends in the kingdom. Jesus was the Messiah, the King of Israel, who came to set right all that our sin made wrong. He came proclaiming the kingdom, embodying it in himself. And so when he went to the cross, it was to establish the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. His kingdom mission didn’t end at the cross.

Collin HansenWell, the Gospel brings many benefits. We think about forgiveness, about victory, about redemption, and all kinds of other benefits. But the greatest benefit of the gospel is, of course, God himself. The cross removes the barrier that separates sinners from God.

We need to recognize that, through and through, the doctrine of atonement needs to be thoroughly Trinitarian. It’s centered on Christ. Jesus is the Son of the Father who is empowered by the Spirit. The atonement is the apex of the triune mission of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit working together to reconcile sinners and renew creation. And without the doctrine of the Trinity, everything in the atonement goes off. I’ll give you a couple of examples.

The Apex of God’s MissionThe atonement is the apex of the triune mission of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit working together to reconcile sinners and renew creation. And without the doctrine of the Trinity, everything in the atonement goes off. I’ll give you a couple of examples. One is a classic—you could say infamous—sermon illustration by preachers where there’s the train track conductor who’s looking down and he sees his son playing in the tracks.

One day, as I was serving meals in my church for the unhoused community in East Hollywood, a man stopped me in the hallway and said, “Hey pastor, I just want you to know I’m only here to serve. I do not need the church.”“OK,” I replied, planning to circle back later and explore his hesitation. I asked his name and we carried on serving. As I’ve reflected on that encounter, I’ve come to think it represents a broader trend in our city.
