    Last Seven Words from the Cross

    At the Cross I saw the small wooden cross on the side of the highway. Then I saw another. About fifty miles later there was another. What did they mean?

    The Messages Of The Three Crosses On Calvary

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jun 19, 2001
    based on 95 ratings
     | 39,642 views

    Each cross on calvary carries a message: we see a cross of redemption, a cross of rejection, and a cross of repentance.

    Picture in your mind one of the drawings or paintings that you have seen portraying Christ’s crucifixion. If the artist based his or her rendering of Calvary on the Bible’s account you probably saw three crosses in the picture. Although there were three crosses I am assuming one was probably more ...read more

    My goal is for you to become hopeless-give up hope of changing the past, give up hope of changing what others have done to us, and give up hope of changing ourselves.

    Hopeless. Have you ever felt like that? Totally without hope? You tried everything you could think of, you’re at the end of your rope, with no more solutions in sight and you wonder—am I hopeless? Now, I hope that the video and the actors didn’t make you think we’re down on counseling—we’re not. I ...read more

    Calvary was the place of Three Crosses - of Rebellion, of Repentance and of Redemption - and the choice is ours.

    The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is the corner stone of our faith. It is the chosen symbol of the Christian faith. Thank God, we see it now as an empty cross because the seeming tragedy for good and apparent victory for evil was overturned by the power and purposes of God into the triumph of the ...read more
