COT:
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.
