2 August 2015www.churchofchristmiranda.com

Synopsis: You’ll learn in this lesson what it means that Jesus bore our sins. It is not just what happened on the cross, that’s the climax of His holiness. Rather it’s everything about Jesus coming to be a man and identify with us in our sin and guilt and through his love and compassion be the sin offering so that we can be reconciled to our Father. This lesson is modified, but almost completely, Jim McGuiggan’s (Jim McGuiggan: The Dragon Slayer, Chapter 7: Not Ashamed to be Called their Brother (p. 212-250)
