Revealed on the Cross

Editor: David Maas

It was only when he died that the Roman centurion in charge of the execution recognized that Jesus was the Son of God . Everyone in the Gospel of Mark is incapable of recognizing who Jesus is, except for John the Baptist, Peter (momentarily), and the Roman centurion at his execution, and Peter’s moment of insight proved fleeting. Even the Baptist began to question the identity of Christ when he was imprisoned by Herod Antipas.

Revelado na Cruz

Editor: David Maas

Foi somente quando morreu que o centurião romano encarregado da execução reconheceu que Jesus era (e continua sendo) o Filho de Deus . Todos no Evangelho de Marcos são incapazes de reconhecer quem é Jesus, exceto João Batista, Pedro (momentaneamente) e o centurião romano em sua execução, e o momento de discernimento de Pedro se mostrou fugaz. Até o Batista começou a questionar a identidade de Cristo quando foi preso por Herodes Antipas.

The Faith of Jesus

Editor: David Maas

We are acquitted before God through the faith of Jesus Christ, and not from the works of the Law – Romans 3:21-26. Having demonstrated that all men violate God’s revealed will, the Apostle Paul concludes that no man or woman is acquitted from the penalty of sin from the works and rituals required by the Law of Moses. Instead, we are declared innocent through the faith or faithfulness of Jesus Christ.

The Works of the Law

Editor: David Maas
Image
In Romans, references to justification from works have a specific category of works in view, the works required by the Mosaic Law . Sin is the Great Leveler that places everyone in the same predicament: Bondage now, death and wrath later. No one is exempt from the penalty of sin. Death waits for all of us. However, what did Paul mean when he referred to ‘works’ in his discussions about our justification? Good deeds and human efforts, or something more specific?
