In a bonus episode for Easter, Bern Leckie and Claire Lynch discuss the different views available in the Bible on the meaning and purpose of Jesus' death, as well as his resurrection and what these mean for us.
We could regard the whole business as mystery, or pick a clear and simple explanation. One which is widely shared is "penal substitutionary atonement", the idea that Jesus had to die to take the necessary punishment from God that our sins deserve.
There are Bible verses which seem to refer to this, but how should we interpret them? What view of God would they give us, and how would we see ourselves and other people, if this were the main reason for what happened to Jesus on the cross?
Bern and Claire also look at other ways that scholars through history have made sense of Jesus' death and resurrection, and how this may also have looked to people at the time of Jesus with little or no knowledge of Jewish theology, but who are still found responding to Jesus' death in the gospel accounts.
The meaning of Psalm 22 is also considered. It starts, "My God, my God, why have you foresaken me?" and Jesus is recorded as saying those words on the cross. Had God really turned away because of our sin? Or does the rest of Psalm 22 tell a different story? Bern and Claire suggest reading or listening and praying this through, not just to understand but also see where we might relate to it.
