·12 min·1 clip

Calvin describes the cross as the most magnificent tribunal and elevated chariot where Christ triumphed over death and the devil.

This episode is a reading and analysis of John Calvin's commentary on Colossians 1:13-15, focusing on how Christ's death brought spiritual life to believers by forgiving sins and abolishing the condemning 'handwriting' of Mosaic ceremonies. Calvin argues these Old Testament rituals were not means of grace but acknowledgments of guilt, from which Christ's sacrifice fully liberates believers.
