Despite my earlier complaint, it has been awesome to find out that my post on Christmas and imputation helped someone out. Here:

I have wondered for a long time about how Christ’s death could affect us. How could one person’s death atone for someone else’s sin? Why couldn’t my own death be satisfactory to God?

Sam Brown first helped me begin to understand when he mentioned the perfection of Jesus. This was later impressed upon me in a different way by Jonathan Edwards (being quoted by John Piper), by relating the infitude of our sin against God and the infinite worth of Christ.

Recently, a Christmas sermon from Mark Horne struck me again and I guess re-drove the other important point home. It wasn’t just the fact that Jesus died on a cross, this alone isn’t able to satisfy the demands of justice, but it also his relation to us that means these demands can be met.

It is great to get to help out, and especially to get to team up with Jonathan Edwards and john Piper!
