    The kingdom was on offer in the Person of the King, even as He hung there dying upon the Cross. The offer has never been withdrawn, for any who will come to Him.

    "We Have Taken Him Off The Cross"

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Sep 15, 2015
     | 3,091 views

    WE do not desire a cross because it means we suffer. The Christ on the cross is an image of suffering, image of surrender, an image of servant hood, and the cross of Christ is an image of sufficiency.

    “We have taken him off the cross?” Mark 8:34 Most pictures we see of the cross of Christ is the cross is displayed as empty. 1. Image 1 of Isenhiem Altar piece The cross of Christ is an image of suffering • The Isenheim Altarpiece is an image of ...read more

    Jesus calls us to make cross-carrying commitments. These are not resolutions that can be broken and forgotten in a matter of days. When a person picks up a cross, it’s a one-way trip. No one expects to come back.

    I HATE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS For nearly a decade, I said, “Next January, I will start eating right and exercising.” You can tell what happened with my resolutions. NOTHING. I did not start eating healthy foods. I did not start exercising, but that all changed last January 14th. I had a ...read more

    We have a hard time seeing it’s significance. We have a hard time understanding why Jesus dying this day matters to us. I get that. I understand that we struggle to see why it matters to us.
