Penal substitution does not turn God into a cosmic child abuser. It does not reduce Christ to the passive victim of some divine injustice. It does not pit the Trinity against itself. No, in the God-forsakenness of Christ on the cross, the love of God and the justice of God are revealed on our behalf. United in purpose, Father and Son act in concert to save God’s people. The sinless Son of God bears our sin, and then God pours out the wrath that our sin deserves, and Jesus the Son endures it so that we, who deserve that wrath, might never encounter it. This is the gospel, the good news of the cross, and it calls us to forsake our sin, to turn away from it and embrace Christ, the forsaken one, so that we may not be forsaken.

INSTRUCTIONS

Stir while cooking, and cook until stiff. Allow this to cool, and cover
with a damp cloth until ready to use. Coloring may be added before cooking
or when molded; let dry, then paint with water color.
HOW TO CARE FOR CLAY: Clay can always be broken up, dampened, and used
again - even after it has been painted. When it has been used, but has not
been allowed to become hard, poke holes in the clay with your finger or
with a pencil, fill these with water (to restore the original dampness) and
place in an airtight crock or in a galvanized pail with a tight cover. A
damp cloth placed over the clay will help to keep it moist until the next
time.

A Message from our Provider:

“The church is prayer-conditioned.”

We may often be baffled by the reality of the power of evil as it is manifest in our circumstances. Sometimes that power seems so overwhelming that we are unable to praise within the circumstances of our life. It is then that we do well to recall the words of the Apostle Paul. When writing amidst difficult circumstances to the Church at Ephesus he could say, ‘Giving thanks always for all things unto God.’ He had come to know that no matter what the source of the evil, if we are in Christ, and surrounded by Him as by an atmosphere, all evil has to pass through Him before it comes to us (Robert Norris).
