Gospel-Centered Musings
A collection of absorbed thoughts and writings that have been turned in the mind, meditatively and inconclusively for the sake of the Gospel.

Happy Easter 2023 from the Dewalt family. Christ is risen.
Happy happy happy birthday to my dear mother. Always looking to serve, you are a great blessing to me and my family. Deep dish pizza and ice cream cake for you tonight. Maybe a present too.

My loves.
While studying in college, I came across After Darkness, Light: Distinctives of Reformed Theology, essays in honor of R.C. Sproul in my junior year. This title would lead to many more reads within the reformed tradition: Goldsworthy, Barrett, Poythress, Thomas, Ferguson, and Beeke. Four years later, I can still remember the day, time, and place I was when R.C. preached his "The Cruse Motif of the Atonement" sermon at the 2008 Together for the Gospel Conference.
Daddy daddy! You told me he wasn’t real! I told you he was!
Love my Miss Willow.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Dewalt’s.
I'm on the backside of thirty, with my better 3/4ths.
Wonderful evening with family and friends.

Driscoll takes some liberties with the narrative but I don’t think he’s strayed too far from the “spirit” of the texts he’s referencing… (Which seems like it’s mostly based on John’s account with a dab of Luke’s)
I’ve (obviously?) never heard this interpretation before. And it doesn’t necessarily mean that’s how it all went down. But it does make the passage make more sense.
I, like Driscoll mentioned, have always interpreted that passage to be an act of (mild) compassion. However, I guess this could explain why they just happened to have sponges and wine vinegar on hand at the scene. And it would fit with the rest of the events from that day.
