Theology of the Cross (146)
  1. 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.
  2. One at the right hand, and one on the left . . . but Jesus doesn't think that means what they think it means.
  3. Our only claim to fame is that we have been claimed by a God who is consistently drawn to losers!
  4. 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.
  5. It is in your lows where Christ has hidden his highest high, eternal life itself.
  6. Wilson reminds his reader over and over again that, in his love, God accepts sinners as they are so that we may be delivered from the self-acceptance, self-worship, and self-justification of our selfish definitions of love.
  7. The Second Edition of “The Christian Life: Cross or Glory?” by Steven Hein is now available from 1517 Publishing.

  9. Although God is always closer to us than the nose on our face, he has not taken the wraps off and given any sinful and mortal human being a full-measure, face-to-face meeting.
  10. A theology of glory cannot abide the cross.
  11. Everyone is living as a naked sufferer who’s been duped into believing that the nakedness of suffering has to be covered up.
  12. Through the Gospel of Matthew, Craig and Troy continue talking about the "two religions." One is firm, built on the rock of Christ. The other is unstable, built upon literally anything else.
