Today, as we approach Easter, we come to the 6th Word from the Cross. The 6th thing Jesus said as he hung there, in the last few moments before he died... ‘It is finished’. What did Jesus mean by that? What is finished? Does he mean, It’s over and done with? Well that’s definitely what the Romans ...read more

Hey! We Are Baptized Into Something?

Contributed by Doug Koehler on Jan 9, 2009

Paul connects a response to an opponent’s longing to cheapen Grace with how far God was willing to go (BAPTISM) to show us how much he wants to free us from sin.
