Theology of the Cross (148)
  1. Christ isn’t preached in his glory but in his ignominy, his utter shame, degradation, and desolation.
  2. Jesus has conquered; he who has an ear let him hear. There is nothing to run from, nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to fear because the Lamb of God has done it all.
  3. Elisabeth Cruciger is the first female Lutheran hymn writer. In fact, her hymn was included in the very first evangelical hymnal, published in 1524. With her life and her hymn, she becomes a witness, an example, and a proclaimer of the gospel to us almost 500 years later.
  4. Jesus wouldn't allow religious people to determine his identity, define his mission, or put him in a safe, predictable religious box.
  5. Even though we are tempted to add our personal opinions to the meaning of Jesus' life and death, to increase the meaning of His sacrifice, there's only one thing that makes Christians "Christian." Christ crucified for us for the forgiveness of sin.
  6. God says, “Cross,” and we say, “Glory!” Sometimes – a lot of times – he knocks the glory glasses off our faces.
  7. The implications were clear: Jesus’ death destroyed the things that distinguished people as educated or uneducated, rich or poor, free or enslaved, black or white, pious or godless.
  8. The Christian life is not all glory, power, and happiness, we will share in the cross of Christ. What does that mean? You can listen to today's program and find out.

  9. An annual three day event, designed to center your faith in Christ for you, based in the Scriptural truths rediscovered in the Reformation.
  10. It is a strange irony, but in a world drunk on violence, it is only on the cross of violence that there is hope for peace in our world.
  11. This is a guest article brought to us by Dr. James Isaacs.
  12. I’d like to offer a short reflection on the theme of “worldliness” as it appears in his later work and how that’s connected to an item of his Lutheran heritage: the theology of the cross.
