“The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” —Rom 15:3 “The hatred spewed forth was ultimately aimed at God the Father, although it landed on the Son … Jesus as the willing Son stands as a substitute in place of the Father.” —@MatthewWBates Double substitution.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed [echrisen] me to proclaim good news [euangelisasthai] to the poor..(Luke 4 18-19). What is this gospel? That God is orchestrating a regime change in and through him that will benefit the poor, the sick, & the oppressed. – at Mississauga, Ontario

Would Jesus have been born if He weren’t (as the carols say) “born to set” His people “free”? @MatthewWBates & I chat about this & much more in this ho-ho-holiday ep of the Jolly Thoughts pod: youtube.com/watch?v=8pk9sbdd…
