There is no Christianity without the cross.
If the cross is not the center of our religion ours is not the religion of Jesus.
John Stott
Matt
A. Our Redemption Details Human Rebellion.
Two things come into clear focus when we discuss the cross.
1.
The Cross reveals God’s great love for man.
Listen - filter everything through the cross.
Everything that comes into your life.
Remember this Cross is God’s great display of Love.
Remember the words of the hymn writer?
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.
How marvelous!
How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous!
How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
You can’t look at the cross and not see the great love of God.
2. The Cross reveals Man’s great malice for God.
The greatest act of human rebellion recorded in human history is the cross.
If God were to put himself in the hands of man what would happen?
If God were to expose His life to our hands, He would not be safe for a second.
We would not ignore Him; we would destroy Him.
R.C. Sproul
When I read Dr. Sproul’s statement I dismissed it as ridiculous.
But when i read what he said next I concluded that he was right.
This charge may seem extravagant and irresponsible until we examine once more the record of what happened when God did appear in Christ.
R.C. Sproul
"Before we can begin to see the cross as something done for us, we have to see it as something done by us."
John Stott
How did the Jews treat Jesus?
How did the Gentiles treat Jesus?
B. Our Redemption Demanded His Humiliation.
Sin brings shame but Christ takes it away.

date palm, which had thorns up to twelve inches in length.
If the latter, there is further irony since the same palm tree yielded the branches used to hail Jesus as king at the triumphal entry just five days earlier.
What kind of savior can’t save himself?
Christ saved others by sacrificing himself.
