When you observe the Cross of Christ, what do you see? The defeat of a crucified man suffering unjustly and shamefully? No, says Dr. Lloyd-Jones. To consider the Cross a failure is to lose sight of the purpose and glory of that decisive event that occurred on Mount Calvary. Because in Jesus Christ, and especially in his death, God was fulfilling a promise made at the dawn of human history. He was making it possible for imperfect women and men to have a personal relationship with their perfect Creator.
In this book, Dr. Lloyd-Jones clearly and thoroughly demonstrates the truth of this impressive claim and analyzes its enormous implications for everyone today.
