On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Sharon Schwartz discuss the following questions:

How does viewing Jesus as our representative, rather than our substitute, change our understanding of Jesus' death for us?

Why can't God just choose to forgive man without needing the death of Jesus to pay for sin? If sin is against God, wouldn't it be enough for God to simply declare, "I forgive you" and be done with it?

The reading for the day is Romans 6.
