IN THE CLASSROOM
The Greatest
Story
Dr. Craig Blomberg
SALVATION CAN BE EASY; REDEMPTION ALWAYS COSTS SOMETHING.
I MIGHT SAVE (I.E., RESCUE OR LIBERATE) A CHILD WHO IS STUCK
BETWEEN HIS BED AND THE WALL WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT
BECAUSE I AM MUCH STRONGER THAN HE.
A DOCTOR MIGHT SAVE A PATIENT'S LIFE SIMPLY
BY WRITING A PRESCRIPTION FOR MEDICATION
TO CURE A DISEASE.
BUT REDEMPTION USUALLY MEANS
PAYING A PRICE, LITERALLY
OR METAPHORICALLY.
