8/13/2023- Ep 17.2: Christus Victor

In Matthew 8:23-34, two miracle stories are set side by side—Jesus’ calming of the storm and Jesus exorcising demons. While at first they seem different, the two stories are really both exorcisms of evil, as Jesus reveals his identity as the victorious Son of God. The smaller victories of Matthew 8 point us forward to the ultimate victory of Christ upon the cross.1) When looking upon creation, what aspects of the created world reveal Jesus’ authority as the Son of God to you?2) How does the fact that Jesus judges evil, inform how you relate to injustices in this world?3) What facets of your life could be most impact by mediating on the victorious nature of Jesus work upon the cross?
