“The cross is God’s truth about us, and therefore it is the only power which can make us truthful. When we know the cross we are no longer afraid of the truth.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“On whatever subjects I may be called to preach, I fell it to be a duty which I dare not neglect to be continually going back to the doctrine of the cross – the fundamental truth of justification by faith which is in Christ Jesus. This topic is essential to the life of the soul. – Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“What shall I say to the commendation of Christ and His Cross? I bless the Lord He has made my prison a palace to me. And what am I that He should have delt thus with me? I have looked greedy-like to such a lot as this, but I still thought it was too high for me when I saw how vile I was.” – Isabel Alison (excecuted for her faith on January 26th, 1681)

Journey to the Cross: Introduction
March 1, 2008 by admin
The heart of Christianity is Jesus Christ. He is God who became flesh, lived a perfect life, and died on the cross. Jesus was very mission guided. His mission was to come and die. Jesus came to be the mediator between a righteous and holy God and a sinful people. His mediation, however, was not a mediation handled with words, but rather it was a mediation in which Jesus bore the sins of the people and took upon Himself the wrath of God on behalf of the people. This is the story of undeserved and unfathomable grace given to people who did not deserve it. This is the gospel. Leading up to Good Friday, we will reflect on this amazing truth through some statements from Christians throughout the centuries. May you be lead worship and adore Jesus and to seek a deeper relationship with Him as we journey to the cross.
