John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, but how? This week guest speaker Pastor Steve Tollefson wrestles with the question, how did Jesus set us free from sin?
When we try to understand how Jesus’s death on a cross makes it possible for sins to be forgiven, the thing we’re trying to understand is atonement. Atonement is the reconciliation of God and people through the sacrifice of Jesus dying on the cross.
Scholars have worked to understand atonement by developing various theories. They include the Ransom Theory of Atonement, the Satisfaction Theory of Atonement, and the Moral Theory of Atonement. Although there is some truth in each of these distinct theories, they also have commonalities. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus happened for the purpose of leading us to unity with God.
