Thoughts on “Beautiful Scandalous Night.”

Scandal = something that offends proprietary or established moral conceptions and disgraces those associated with it.
We don’t normally think that we are the cause of a scandal, espcially if we “follow the rules” and are generally “good people.” However, as it reads in Romans 5:8 “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” A simple concept, but a moral outrage if we understand it properly.

What did Jesus deserve? Honor, respect, adoration.
What did he get? Disgrace, disrespect, and a violent death.
Why? because we were enemies of God, according to Romans.

Should not the ones who were guilty be punished? Earlier in Romans it reads that there is “no one righteous” according to the law (3:9 and 3:23). Is God unjust to not deal with law-breaking offenders accordingly?

I’ll let Paul answer that question:

24 … and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

COT:
Of all the benefits I received from scouts, one of the most impactful was the system of virtue it embedded in my person. The tenets of the scout oath and law provided a good working standard for my young life by which I could usefully evaluate a situation and choose a course of action. While my faith was still developing, they gave me something I understood well enough to use, and they still provide good guideposts.

I have often reflected on how F3 in many ways gives me as an adult similar benefits that scouting gave me as a youth. Likewise, in the area of leadership, F3 provides a set of virtues that can serve as useful guideposts. These are:
Candor, commitment, consistency, contentment and courage.
If you have never read these five articles in the Q source, I would encourage you to, because, when understood, I think they do a good job of going deeper than the surface level virtue we often settle for.
