The Dynamite Of The Cross

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007

The dynamite (power) of the cross is displayed in the reaction of the centurion at Calvary’s cross. This is displayed through the righteousness and royalty of Christ, the response of heaven and the witness of the centurion’s own heart.

The Bible does not give us many facts about activities of the centurions. In fact, centurions are referred to only four times in the Bible. Matthew 8 records the story where the centurion asked for his servant to be healed. “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the ...read more

Boasting In The Cross

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

By the resurrection Jesus overcame sin and death; but the cross is where He made atonement for sin. It was the cross in which Paul boasted, and the cross was central to his missions and preaching; therefore, it should be important to us.

In Galatians 6:14, the apostle Paul declared, “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” The resurrection is the power behind the Christian’s faith, for it was by the resurrection that Jesus ...read more
