The idea that a Holy God would take such measures to save a sinful world is simply unbelievable. In our Lenten series, we see some of the unbelievable events surrounding the worst and greatest week in the history of mankind. One of the incredible ideas of the Gospel is that God would love the unloveable -- that he would accept the unacceptable. As we begin this Lenten series, we watch Jesus give hope to a criminal and -- by extension -- offer hope to us.Isaiah 53:7-12Rom. 5:1–11Luke 23:32-43
