to reconcile not to punish

misunderstanding God’s will

that the cross is punishment

we are missing the point

God wants to live with us

to reconcile not to punish

love not death, estrangement,

God wants to live with us

a life in complete harmony

why Christ came to save us

why he, God, set us free
