The Wonder of the Cross
 

The Wonder of the Cross

The Cross of Jesus Christ

 is the bridge between God and man.

 

Centuries before Jesus was born, the cross had been used as an instrument of torture and death. In 519 BC, for example, King Darius I of Persia crucified 3,000 political enemies in Babylon. This method of execution was later adopted by the Romans for non-citizens and slaves.

 

When Jesus Christ bore our sins at Calvary (1 Peter 2:24), the cross took on a new significance. There the Savior, "through the blood of His cross," made it possible for us to escape judgment and be reconciled to God (Colossians 1:20-21).

 

The resurrected Savior invites all men and women to come humbly in faith to Him. By believing that He died in our place on the cross, we receive full forgiveness.
