Uhhhhh. It's the Reader's Digest version of the Reader's Digest version?
Well, to get all formal and ever'thang ...
Jesus came not only to show us the Way, but also to wrassle Satan to the ground and crush his head, excuse me, haid; to offer a perfect sacrifice releasing his life so that it could be shared with us all as the "blood, which is the life" of the sacrificial victim could make us strong enough to bear the approach of the God who is a consuming fire; and to pay the debt of our sin.
This wonderful story "fleshes out" (interesting phrase in the context, huh?) the "showing the Way" aspect of the "work of Christ", but leaves the rest implicit.
He is Teacher and Guide; Conqueror who leads captivity itself captive; Expiation; and Satisfaction.
Or so I think of Him.
