Atonement Friday

Here at Princeton, Nate and I just attended a Good Friday prayer service. An overarching theme of the small gathering was that we will never know the agony that Jesus endured for our atonement. There is nothing that we can do to repay Christ for this sacrifice. May we believe on the full atonement of the blood spilled at Calvary. May we be a people who offer thanksgiving and rejoicing.

Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank you
The Father's wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank you
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank you
