The Town

Jesus did not lord his omnipotence over us. As we drove nails into his hands he forgave us. As our sin was placed on his back he paid the ransom. He was made a sin-offering for his enemies and we were his enemies. Without the cross there is no Christianity. Isn't it interesting that the word "crux" comes from crucifixion? The Cross really is the centerpiece of what we believe and who Jesus is. Jesus died to reveal God's justice and absorb His wrath, as the final sacrifice, for our justification, to redeem us from the curse of the law, to remove sin, to bring reconciliation, and to defeat Satan.
