Penal substitutionary atonement: two valid senses of God's wrath on the cross — displeasure toward sin; outward punishment of sin

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 10) 00:38:37 – 00:40:39

Question from Zoe Abundant about whether Jesus experienced God's wrath and what that means.

Mike presents two senses in which God's wrath was on the cross: (1) God's displeasure toward sin (not personal displeasure toward Jesus) — sin was placed on Christ and God's anger toward sin was dealt with there; (2) God's outward, historical punishment of sin enacted in the world (like Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction). He explicitly rejects the idea that the Father was personally displeased with or angry at the Son — the Father-Son relationship maintained perfect harmony, love, and unity throughout.
