Good Friday Message

(Rom. 3:23-26/FCC/4-3-26/Lukins)

Theme→Christ reconciles the tension between God’s justice and grace

1. Two poles: justice and grace
   1. Justice
      1. The origin (Gen. 3:16-19)
      2. The execution (Gen. 5:1-32; 6:5-7; 19:23-25)
   2. Grace 
      1. The origin (Gen. 3:15, 21)
      2. The execution (Gen. 5:21-24; 6:8; 19:21-22; 22:13; 33:3-4; 45:5)
2. Tension: Who pays for the sins of God’s people? (Gen. 9:20-21; 20:9-10; 27; 34; 37:26-28)
3. Resolution: God has provided payment (Rom. 3:23-26)
