So Christ was offered up once to carry the weight of everyone's mess-ups. And for those who are waiting for him, he's coming back a second time — not to deal with sin anymore, but to bring complete rescue.

So here's what I'm asking: did they mess up so badly that they're completely done for? Absolutely not. But here's the thing — their stumble opened the door for everyone else to find salvation, and honestly, that's supposed to make them want what they're missing.
