Atonement – a word that probably more associated with Keira Knightley than Jesus Christ these days, and yet a word traditionally used to describe the implications of the death and resurrection of a Jewish Rabbi from Nazareth some 2000 years ago.
At SLBC over the next few weeks, as Easter approaches, we’re gonna be exploring ‘atonement’ in order to get to grips with what the greatest person in history did on the greatest day in history, and understand the difference it makes to our own history – our past, our present, and our future. Having done just some basic reading on the subject, I’ve been again blown away by the wonder of the cross – it is both beautiful and mysterious, and reaches to the depths of our soul.
So, over the next few weeks I’m gonna be blogging the basics after each sermon. Next week – The Cross Anticipated.
Simon – amazing & v- challenging sermon this eve. We are blessed that you are so talented a communicator!
Hi There.
Excellent.
Been looking at your blog.
I love the Atonement slide and am wondering if you would mind if I used it for our Good Friday service. I am a minister and my sermon is entitled Atonment. So you slide would be a brilliant visual aid. Don’t need the March – April bit though??!!
Blessings
