There are some questions that are both extraordinarily simple and exceedingly complex. The question of how we can be saved is one of those questions. On the one hand the answer is as straightforward as believing in Jesus Christ, that his life, death, resurrection, and ascension made it possible to be right with God. On the other hand, understanding what those things mean and how they brought us peace with God is an intricate and detailed conversation.

Yet it is a question that must be asked and when it is, it needs to be answered. In the pages that follow, Mike Swiger retells a compelling story from Scripture when this question was asked and answered. We offer this with the prayer that it will help you appreciate the beautifully simple and complex salvation that Christ has won for us.
