Our congregation has enjoyed singing “Christus Victor (Amen)” by Matt Boswell, Bryan Fowler, Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, and Matt Papa. The phrase refers to one of the more prominent images of the atonement theologians have proposed over the years to explain why the cross “works” (along with the cross as ransom, satisfaction, substitution, etc.). Thankfully, we need not know how the cross accomplished our salvation, only that it does, and that God the Father regards the redemptive work of God the Son as “saving.”

I’ve had the privilege of seeing the Gettys in concert, and their work is always food for the soul. This 2024 release is another feast from their heart to ours. Enjoy!
