Wednesdays, February 25, March 4-25, and April 1, 1-2:30pm at Carlisle UMC (333 S Spring Garden St, Carlisle)

Despite the crucifixion's central place in Christian faith, the New Testament offers few clear answers about how Jesus' death saves, or why, exactly, he had to die. The New Testament writers use a host of metaphors - ransom, sacrifice, reconciliation, victory - but never explain exactly how it works or why it had to happen this way. What if that's because we've been asking the wrong question? What if the cross isn't a transaction to be explained, but a living Word from God meant to transform who we are and how we life?
This study is led by Pastor Jim VanZandt.
