Status Updates From The Cross of Christ

Just finished Part 1. I have never read the cross exalted and exposited as good as this!

"Nothing reveals the gravity of sin like the cross."

"The cross of Christ is the most powerful incentive to live a holy life."

Praise God for His blessings of faithful, devoted men to the church who writes for the soul.

“The concept of substitution may be said, then, to lie at the heart of both sin and salvation. For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting Himself for man. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be; God sacrifices Himself for man and puts Himself where only man deserves to be.”

“Divine love triumphed over divine wrath by divine self-sacrifice. The cross was an act simultaneously of punishment and amnesty, severity and grace, justice and mercy.“
