@fearthelamb: First off, I do not believe we should ever deny Christ. However, I interpret this scene as a powerful reminder of what Christ has truly done for us. No matter what you have done, said, or thought, Christ bore it on the cross. This is not a promotion of denying the Lord. It’s a reminder that no one is too far gone for His mercy. We are the ones holding the hammer. We are the ones who drove the nails. Yet He still calls us His.
