"We need a right view of the cross. It is both a historical event that can take us to heaven and a current event that can bring heaven to bear on Earth." (Tony Evans)
In The Power of the Cross, Tony Evans applies Christ's work to life today. He systematically and pastorally explains three aspects of the cross:
- Its person: what makes Christ unique and how he is the center of salvation history
- Its purpose: what was accomplished on it and how it is to be the centerpiece of our lives
- Its power: the stability and deliverance it provides in our everyday living
We may wear crosses around our necks, but do we apply them to our lives? Jesus' work holds incredible power for us. It's time we embrace it, for God's glory and our good.
