Hodge: the predicted atonement

Saturday, March 20, 2021
    Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687
Meditation:
    [Paul:] “Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.”
    —Acts 13:26-27 (NIV)
Quotation:
    That the death of Christ as an atoning sacrifice was predicted by the law and the prophets is the constant doctrine of the New Testament.

Quiet time reflection:
