Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
The Cross: The Collision Of God And Sin | Good News
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the Cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. 1 Peter 2:24 NASB 1995 The heart of salvation is the Cross of Jesus Christ. It is the place where God and sinful man met with a...
The Cross: Crucifixion And Resurrection
My Lord, I marvel that, fully God, you also became fully man, and were willingly crucified on a Roman Cross for my sins. The empty tomb calls forth my adoring wonder, for thou art indeed risen. The four-fold gospel attests it, the living witnesses prove it, and my...
The Cross: Saturday, Jerusalem, Circa 33 AD
A Day Like Any Other It is the Jewish Sabbath. The city is quiet. The air above the city lacks the usual thousand little trails of smoke from cookfires. Hymns rise from the temple. Families are indoors. The soldiers are back in their barracks. The Chief Priest grows...
The Cross
God showed His love for us in that, while we were still sinners, the Lamb of God died on the Cross for us. Therefore, since we are now acquitted and brought into right relationship with God by Christ’s blood, how much more certain is it that we shall be saved by Him...
The Cross: It Is Finished
Friday, Jerusalem, Circa 33 AD He cannot do anything deliberate now. The strain of His whole weight on His outstretched arms hurts too much. The pain fills Him up, displaces thought, as much for Him as it has for everyone else who has ever been nailed to one of these...
The Cross: Mercy
“When Jesus died on the cross the mercy of God did not become any greater. It could not become any greater, for it was already infinite. It was the mercy of God that gave us Calvary, not Calvary that gave us mercy. If God had not been merciful there would have been no...
The Cross: Christ, The Power Of God
The message of the cross seems foolish to those who are lost, but to us who are being saved it is the manifestation of the power of God. For it is written,“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and I will set aside the intelligence of the intelligent.” 1 Corinthians...
The Cross: Who Are You?
And Jesus answered them saying: "Who am I? When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that ‘I Am Who I Am’, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but have spoken only the things I have learned directly from the Father. And He who sent me is with...
The Cross: An Altar
“The cross on which Jesus Christ died is the only cross in all of history that was turned into an altar. It was a Roman cross. They nailed Him to it. In His majesty and providence, God turned it into an altar. And the Lamb of God became the full, final, and forever...
The Cross: Promised
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” John 11:25-26 ESV We know how the story ends. This is the ultimate promise to rest upon as...
The Cross: Journey On A Donkey
Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me....
The Cross: The Lamb Of God
Today is the first day of Passover, the festival established by God to be celebrated by the Jewish people each year, forever. Why? God intended that it would, in part, be a remembering. A permanent reminder to the Jewish people through all generations of God's rescue...
The Cross: Jesus Turns His Face Toward Jerusalem
When the days drew near for Him to be taken up, He set His face to go to Jerusalem. Luke 9:51 This is the very definition of obedience. Jesus knew what awaited Him in Jerusalem. And yet He turned resolutely to Jerusalem and the Cross. Let us likewise, in faithfulness...
Easter 2025: The Cross
The Cross of Easter looms on a hill in Gethsemane. We begin a series of reflections on the Cross and the hinge of history. #Easter2025
Glorious Darkness
We're living in strange days. When I see what's happening in this world, if I didn't know the Lord Jesus Christ, I'm not sure what I would do. Yet, knowing the Bible and Bible prophecy, when I see all these things coming to pass, they do not shake me. Sometimes they...
Believe It Or Not
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God. It was written by more than 40 authors over a period of 1,500 years (1,400 BC - 100 AD). It is contrary to reason to believe that it is some conspiracy promulgated over 3,500 years. There have been vast...
A Half Truth Equals A Whole Lie
The Apostle Paul to the Ephesian elders: "For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God." Acts 20:27 ESV We must preach the whole counsel of God. If we're going to preach about God's love, we must also preach about what God hates. If we preach...
He Is Waiting
When you approach the tabernacle for Sabbath worship remember that He has been waiting for you for twenty centuries. St. Josemaria Escriva (1902 -1975)
