What's the big deal with the Cross...

The Last Seven Words of Christ while on the Cross

A few weeks ago I was having a discussion with my pastor Warren Coe about some thoughts I had been having about items to post on this blog.  I had been thinking that God was telling me to discuss some issues reguarding the importance of Jesus' Crucifixion. 

I asked Warren the question, "Can you help me describe what is the big deal with the Cross"?  Meaning how can we describe it to both Christians and non-Christians alike in a way that we all can understand it. 

In my layman's mind, I know it is a huge deal, but I don't have a full-orbed understanding of all of its implications.

Well, it just so happened that Warren was going to be starting a series on the "Cross of Christ" called "The Voice From The Cross" taken from a book by Richard Bodey.  This series was going to be focusing on the last seven words of Christ while on the cross.

So, I bugged Warren and he has given me permission to post his series here.  I'm hoping I can convince him to become a regular contributor.  You can email him to help me convince him.

Starting today, I will be posting his current series "Voice From The Cross".  We would greatly appreciate your feedback.

• THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS
• GOD’S POWER TO TRANSFORM
• LESSONS TO ADULT CHILDREN
• MY GOD! MY GOD!
• I AM THIRSTY
• IT IS FINISHED
• INTO THY HANDS

I hope you enjoy this series and most of all, I hope you have a blessed Easter (or as some say Resurrection Sunday).

Thanks for the post. Great series that has gotten me to rethink the cross. This sure will make a great resource reference for my work. I suppose the cross is a topic that can never be exhausted. The power, depth of meaning and example that it leaves is life altering.

Thanks again for the post,
