Theology of the Cross (156)
  1. Free-range Christ is fearful Christ because he is present, speaking, and I just crucified him.
  2. Easter must be seen in light of the cross. It must never overshadow Good Friday. They are a packaged deal!
  3. Simon carried the cross, but Jesus was carried by the cross to death.
  4. Theologians of glory searched for God everywhere except the Cross of Christ.
  5. It is precisely from the cross that the glory of God shines most brightly into our lives, as dark and sinister as Golgotha appears from a sinful distance. Cross trumps crisis.
  6. Because Jesus has set us free, we enjoy a freedom of movement in His world, under His grace, that loosens our tongues to sing His praise.
  7. One at the right hand, and one on the left . . . but Jesus doesn't think that means what they think it means.
  8. Our only claim to fame is that we have been claimed by a God who is consistently drawn to losers!
  9. Christ has received the mark of law that we might be marked with the gospel, with the sign of his holy cross on our heads and hearts as redeemed children of God.
  10. It is in your lows where Christ has hidden his highest high, eternal life itself.
