viola on atonement

Here Frank Viola reminds of the multifaceted nature of spiritual realities. Since I've been quoting a lot regarding the atonement lately, I thought his reminder timely ...

Hence, the atonement was the ultimate sacrifice. It was the ultimate ransom. It was the ultimate satisfaction. It was the ultimate deliverance from the ultimate curse. It was the ultimate defeat of satan and dethronement of the god of this world. It was the ultimate payment for the ultimate penalty. It was the ultimate victory over the forces of darkness. It was the ultimate mystery, and on and on and on.
