On the cross, Jesus will once again be driven outside the city. He'll be treated as unclean. He will bear shame, rejection, rejection, and separation so that sinners like you and sinners like me can be made whole. Jesus doesn't just remove our brokenness. He takes it upon himself. He restores shalom by absorbing, not just defeating the curse, not just by stomping on the head of the serpent. Jesus absorbs the curse. He restores us by stepping into our exclusion. What kind of king uses his authority to do this?
