At the heart of the gospel is a story of Christ's redeeming work. How we understand this story impacts who we understand God to be, how we see ourselves, and how we relate with God. In this series, we will consider what Jesus accomplishes in his life, death, and resurrection, and we will seek to live in the fullness Christ’s atoning work.

This week, we reflected on the atonement story that invites us to consider the life of Jesus in addition to his death and resurrection. How does the heart of God expressed in Christ invite us to be formed by God to live a cruciform life like Jesus?

This practice is a part of our series, Stories of Atonement.

This week, we considered the Orthodox story of atonement. Jesus in his life, death, and resurrection is victorious over the evil one. This story invites us to consider God’s great love which leads to the Lord:

• Offering forgiveness without the need for payment.
• Providing a path from healing from the sickness caused by sin.
• Going through death into Hades to defeat the evil one, and
• Giving himself in sacrifice to seal a new covenant and offer us union with God.
