Show Notes

Portions of Vespers (Evening Prayer) are included in this episode along with Dr. Zeile's meditation on St. Paul's words concerning enemies of the Cross. They are those who object to Christ's suffering on our behalf, and even more of our suffering in following Christ. They want to replace Christ's atonement with something else, and we ourselves may object to the cost of following Christ, and thus becomes enemies of the Cross as well. The classic hymn, "When I Survey the Wonderous Cross" reminds us to pour contempt on our pride in our own works.
