the Passion of Jesus: absorbing the wrath of God by ric gustafson
God is both loving and just. God wants our love more than anything else. But we have loved other things. This is sin. God is worthy of respect and loyalty. God has a holy wrath against sin. God needs to punish for sin.
God sent his Son to be a propitiation for us. A substitute had to be made. Jesus absorbed it and diverted it from us. God's wrath is just and spent. Praise God's name.
