The Rev. Edith Baird preached in response to the Stump the Preacher question, “Did God Forgive Judas?” today, using Luke 22:1-6, 14-23 and 47-53 as her text. At the opening of the sermon she offered two initial comments: first, that she would never presume to say who God forgives, specifically; and second that she was relying on Barbara Brown Taylor for some of her source material.

If you wonder about the theology behind forgiveness of sin, and how Jesus’ death is part of God’s reconciling work, listen to this sermon!
