Christ on the Cross
"He began to teach them, that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again" (Mark 8:31). A Multitude of Sufferings Jesus' physical stresses began in Gethsemane the night... Read more →
Forget the Cross?
"We preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness" (1 Corinthians 1:23). Since the time of Christ, there has never been an age when the cross was not refused. In the first century ad, Jew and Gentile were at variance with each other in most... Read more →

This is amazing, especially since the witnesses that were hurling charges against Jesus were giving false testimony (Matthew 26:59-61). When we read these Scriptures, we wonder why... Read more →
The Cup
"He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me" (Matthew 26:39). As Jesus lies prostrate on the ground, we overhear Him making this plea repeatedly. He lifts His head, and His expression reveals... Read more →
The Three Crosses
"When they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left" (Luke 23:33). What profound depths there are in the mystery of the cross! We can gaze on that One who hung... Read more →
