Hebrew… The gift that keeps on giving… I love it when that happens!

Last week in church, we sang “It Is Well”–all three verses. Singing “My sin, not in part but the whole / Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,” I was deeply moved and thought back to my discussion with Dr. Ross about the offense that must be “lifted up” on the back of the offended person, that cannot be removed by sacrifice. I thought what an amazing thing it must have been for Jesus to carry the tool of his death, the symbol of the offense, on his back,and then to be placed on that very tool as a sacrifice. The whole sin is now on the cross.
