Today's Reaction - Red Cow & Dorothy by mewithoutYou
ENJOY!
Sola Melodica exists to uncover redemptive qualities in the art form of music.
Good News and Bad News
Typically people want the bad news first.
The bad news is that we are all sinners. You are a sinner and I am a sinner.
Our good works don’t offset our sins.
Plus, there is no statute of limitations on our sins.
Justice demands recompense.
The Good News
God had a plan all along. True justice could not ignore these iniquities and transgressions. The penalty had to sufficiently cover every sin that was committed in the past and any sin that would be committed in the future.
Yes, all of them.
Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, came to earth sinless and perfect. He lived a sin-free life. He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the hungry, and loved fearlessly.
He was the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
A lamb without spot or blemish was sentenced to die a brutal death on our behalf.
Jesus was tortured without mercy. He was mocked, spat upon, cursed, and deserted by His friends. The beating, according to Isaiah, was so ghastly that He could not be recognized as a human (Isaiah 52:14).
He died a horrific death, gasping for breath, nailed to a Roman instrument of torture.
His death was just one part of the redemption story. The best part was death could not keep Him. He defeated death and conquered hell.
It’s written, “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification” (Romans 4:25).
The resurrection did not transpire until justification (justice), in the eyes of God, was achieved.
The punches, whipping, cursing, the crown of thorns, nailing, and betrayal were for you and for me.
What Jesus endured was more violent and appalling than anything Quentin Tarantino could envision.
The price for our sins has been paid. There is no double jeopardy in the Kingdom of God.
Our sin is judged in Christ.
That, my friend, is Good News!

[@MyTwoSenses]

I'd be totally happy if you just did a bunch of reacting to different mewithoutYou songs

[@jberry434]

And Nice and Blue part 2 by mewithoutYou!!!! Beautiful Christian references

[@BsideArchive]

I highly suggest reacting to Rainbow Signs by mewithoutYou, and/or my personal favorite Seven Sisters.

[@agentlemancaller86]

your mewithoutYOU reactions are fantastic...keep them coming.
New Wine, New Skins is a favorite of mine lately.

[@Brokenhill42]

IMO the more you dig in to their discography it helps understand the tone/perspective of the singer/writer (Aaron). It seems to me based on interviews over the years (I've only listened to a few) that he's not particularly well-studied in regards to the Bible, though he is obviously somewhat familiar with various biblical stories and draws from them. And it seems he projects some of those biblical stories into either his personal life-context or creates some kind of story that borrows elements from them.
His journey also seems to have fluctuated...at one point (around the 'Catch for Us the Foxes' album release) he seemed to be getting more into a more traditional protestant mindset with things, but then I think that over the years his various skepticisms and possibly his political/social views had him be a little bit more detached/free-spirited with his beliefs/practices. Though I don't know where he's at currently.
ANYWAY, this song set seems to be a good representation of his non-committal/confused nature about spiritual things...like being impacted by these stories of moses yet in the same breath having doubt that the God of the BIble is the true God because of his violent "genocidal" behavior. On the track before "Red Cow" (which is "Mexican War Streets") he writes "I'd like to meet the person who said the words we print in red"...so Red Cow kind of continues some of that thought of being unsure about what scripture is truly holy/inspired.
That being said, these 2 songs are some of my favorite mwY songs! I love the imagery of him debating satan.
Glad you did another mwY reaction.

[@jberry434]

Please do “Julia” by mewithoutYou!!!!!

[@bonniewhite333]

I don't think I know that song. I've not reacted to Elvis, yet. Thanks!
