Just read an interesting exegesis at Pastor Jon's blog. It's a wee bit long for my taste, but has a fair bit of application for those who feel called to pursue Christ. For those who don't, it will give you a behind the scenes look at some of the strange things we believe as Christians and the ways we ought to, but often fail to, live our lives as those who have been ransomed from death.
I like the fact that he makes a point to say that being subject to does not equal passive. His quote from Briscoe is poignant, considering the level of debate often heard between believers and non believers in the majority of our media outlets. (Christianese: "believer" - one who believes that man and God are separated by sin but rejoined relationally through faith in the substituionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ's death on the cross and resurrection thereafter.)
Please, drop him a comment, when you get a chance.
