“And you, who were once alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him.” Colossians 1:21-22

The gospel of the grace of God in Christ is universe-exploding stuff. The gospel is the good news of God invading time and space and setting up residence on earth. ‘Incarnational’ is a word because of it. No other conclusion can be reached but that God did what man could not, would not, and did not dare to undertake. Jesus died for sin, sacrificed Himself, substituted Himself, taking the place of hell-bound rebels thumbing their noses and shaking their fists at Him. By His blood Jesus reconciles us to God.
