The New Adam, Part 1

Teacher: Ron Highfield What does the Bible mean when it says, “Jesus died for our sins” and proclaims Jesus as Savior? Believers often repeat these words without deep understanding. Many popular explanations of how Jesus saves, especially the role of his death on the cross, appeal either to emotions of pity and gratitude or present a cold theory of how a just and wrathful God punished Jesus in our place to “pay” for our sins. In these talks, I urge believers to move past both of these dead ends and view Jesus as our representative and champion who frees us from our wretchedness and enables us to realize our created greatness. He gives us a new beginning!
