A Good Friday sermon today on renewing your mind.

The full measure of divine wrath was poured out on Jesus thousands of people in the old days,

died the excruciatingly painful death of crucifixion, but only one was the object of the unmitigated

wrath of God.

Over the years, the meaning of the cross has been confused, denied, even attempts to dilute

what took place there. But to try and sanitize what took place on Good Friday is actually to destroy

the beauty and the sweetness of the gospel. Hi, I'm Nathan W. Bingham and thank you for joining us

for this Good Friday edition of renewing your mind. Today we're featuring a sermon given by

R.C. Sproul at St. Andrews Chapel as the congregation they're gathered for a Good Friday service.

The Sproul will be looking at Romans 5 in a message titled The Reconciling Death, his Dr. Sproul.

Normally on Good Friday, I choose a text from one of the gospel narratives that recount for us the

crucifixion of our Lord. Tonight, however, I'm going to turn to the epistles to hear the apostolic

interpretation of the significance of the narratives that are found in the gospels.

And so tonight I will be reading from Paul's letter to the church at Rome from chapter 5

beginning at verse 6 and reading through verse 11. I've asked the congregation,

please, to stand for the reading of the Word of God.

For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For scarcely, for a righteous man will one die, yet perhaps for a good man,

someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love toward us,

and that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more than having now been justified by his blood,

we shall be saved from wrath through him.
