Blessing or Curse?

R.C. Sproul

For God’s covenant people, there is no greater blessing than to bask in the light of His presence and to behold His face. But in order for us to enjoy these blessings of salvation, Jesus had to endure the covenant sanctions that our sin deserves. On the cross, Christ was cast into outer darkness under the curse of God. In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul explains the atonement in light of God’s covenant, reflecting on the curse that our Redeemer bore so that we can be truly and ultimately blessed.
