From the Cross

In "From the Cross," beloved Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe turns his full attention to the central message of the Christian faith, explaining the constant relevance of the Cross for believers and demonstrating that a proper understanding of the Cross brings a radical change in their lives, transforming their motivations, values, and aspirations, and freeing them for ministry.

The focus of this book is on Jesus and the cross, covering four main themes:

• What Jesus saw on the cross.
• Why Jesus died on the cross.
• What Jesus said from the cross.
• How believers should live by the cross.

The chapters that make up the section "What Jesus Said from the Cross" were originally messages from the program "Back to the Bible," published by the Good News Broadcasting Association in Lincoln, Nebraska. The rest of the chapters were written especially for this book.

On the evening of Sunday, February 19, 1882, Charles Haddon Spurgeon began his message with these words: "On whatever subject I may be called to preach, I feel it my duty not to neglect continually referring to the doctrine of the cross, the fundamental truth of justification by faith, which is in Christ Jesus."

Unless we return to the cross, we will not be able to advance in our Christian lives. These simple studies will help you better understand the practical application of Christ's death for your life and service today.
