Of course Christ suffered a curse; he was commissioned to overcome all evils that had come against us! THE CURSE HAD MET ITS MATCH…AND LOST! Hallelujah!
However, suffering a curse is a very different matter from suffering God’s wrath, and Scripture clearly makes a distinction between them, especially when it comes to the Just One, the Servant of the Lord, who came to bear the sin, disease, and curse, yet was most emphatically in God’s favor at all times. [6/18/10]
Where does Scripture ever teach that God “was propitiated” by the suffering of His Son at the cross? It is nowhere to be found. [6/28/10]
William Rees [Welsh: Gwilym Hiraethog] (1802-1883), in his widely loved and justly renown hymn, “Here Is Love, Vast As the Ocean” (English translation by William Edwards [1848-1929]) is completely consonant with premial justice. This most famous hymn of the Welsh Revival (1904-1905) says it right, and with no whiff of divine wrath or shadow of condemnation at the cross.
1. Here is love, vast as the ocean,
Loving-kindness as the flood,
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom,
Shed for us His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten,
Throughout heav’n’s eternal days.
2. On the mount of crucifixion,
Fountains opened deep and wide;
Through the floodgates of God’s mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide.
Grace and love, like mighty rivers,
Poured incessant from above,
And heav’n’s peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love.
[6/28/10]
JESUS BORE NEITHER GUILT NOR PENALTY BUT RATHER INJURY
Jesus never bore either the guilt or the penalty of sin(s) but only the injury. [6/30/10]
