Episode 114: The Cross Through Easter Eyes--Atonement, Part 7

Sometimes, our talk about the cross can sound like the resurrection of Jesus is an afterthought, or almost unnecessary.  When folks talk about the cross like it is Jesus paying a debt for our sins, it can sound like it doesn't make a difference whether Jesus rises from the dead or not. And when people talk about the cross as a moral example of what love looks like, you still don't need Easter for that to work.  And yet, the New Testament writers really think that the resurrection of Jesus is vital--essential!--to the Good News.  So in our concluding episode for this Lent, pastors Sarah, Erica, and Steve ask the question, "What does the cross mean if we start from the resurrection?"  Join us for this conversation as we dig into big questions of faith and life.
