Andrew Murray is always a wonderful antidote to fluffy Christianity. I read this booklet in preparation for Easter and appreciated his many insights into the cross and how Christ's finished work there applies to our lives in the here-and-now.
"The cross and the world are diametrically and unchangeably opposed to each other. (232) The difference between the two kingdoms is irreconcilable. However much the world be externally changed by Christian influence, its nature remains the same. When the cross is fully preached with its revelation of sin and curse, with its claim to be accepted and borne – the enmity is speedily seen." (199)
This book has rich truths on every page and should be read slowly, meditatively and prayerfully.
