The crucifixion happened 2000 years ago, but it has vanished from much of modern preaching and teaching. In fact, it is not seen as being central to the gospel being preached today. Why? Simply because what took place there isn't understood by many of us. Failure to understand what God was accomplishing during those six hours will deprive you of a sense of awe toward God's amazing love and grace. It will deny you the foundation on which you can build a life of gratitude and service. After all, it was Christ Himself who called us to take up our cross and follow Him. We cannot do that unless we know what the cross meant to Him as He left heaven to reconcile fallen men to the Father. Don't miss the powerful truths contained in these few pages.
