- Epigraph
- He was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5 - Dedication
- To Steve's wife, Nicole, and to Mike's wife Heather, two women who love the Lord Jesus and live every day trusting in his blood.
And to Andrew's godson Edward Grey, that he would grow up doing the same. - First words
- [Forward] Out of the Jewish leadership of Jesus' day had risen teachers of the law who did not know what the law meant.
The doctrine of penal substitution states that God gave himself in the person of his Son to suffer instead of us the death, punishment and curse due to fallen humanity as the penalty of sin. - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)[Forward] I pray that the Lord will give the book success in the defence and honour of God, and that Jesus Christ will be treasured all the more fully when he is seen more clearly to be Pierced for our Transgressions.
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)We would rejoice if some of those whose positions we have criticized would turn from them and embrace the glorious truth that our Lord Jesus Christ 'bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness' (1 Pet. 2:24).
