Passionate folly

Baconboy’s blog: “Which brings me to my second objection, which is that there is little about humans that are worthy of redemption in this movie. I take human sin and evil very seriously, including my own, but I also believe that there is a reason that God loved us enough to send Jesus to the cross. There are attempts at kindness in the movie, but rather than verifying that humans are worth saving, all they do is underline the cruelty of everyone else. Frankly, after viewing this movie, one wonders why God didnt just wipe the planet clean and start over again. For Jesus sacrifice to be meaningful, humans have to be worth redeeming.”

Theology student or not you really have missed it mate I am afraid! The wonder of the cross is precisely that humans are NOT worth redeeming, and that the ‘logical’ thing to do would be to wipe the slate clean. Thank God he wasn’t logical though. This foolish logic is exactly what the gospel of grace is all about!
