The Cross (116)
  1. It is precisely from the cross that the glory of God shines most brightly into our lives, as dark and sinister as Golgotha appears from a sinful distance. Cross trumps crisis.
  2. Just like Peter, you don’t need to do anything to earn God’s forgiveness for your soul wounds.
  3. Election is not a riddle to solve. It’s a pillow to rest your head on at night.
  4. In His defeat at the hands of our sin and death we are granted victory over sin and death. The location of that victory is the cross. So, we do well to honor it, cherish it, indeed, boast in it.
  5. Just as each servant was sent to bring back the Master’s fruit, so did God send his prophets to bring back the fruits of a life shaped by the Word.

  7. This is the second installment in our series, From Eden to Easter: Life and Death in the Garden. Each day throughout Holy Week, we will take a special look at the gardens and wildernesses of Scripture, and in particular, these scenes' connections to Christ's redemption won for us on the cross.

  10. To preach Christ and him crucified is to keep the message simple and accessible.
