The cross is the most enduring symbol of Christianity. Peter, one of Jesus’ most devoted followers, wrote that Jesus himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, “so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed” (1 Peter 2:24). The cross of Jesus Christ is that pivotal point in history, the center of time and eternity, when unconditional love met indescribable suffering, which opened the way for the salvation of all mankind. “By his wounds you have been healed.” What are those wounds? Join us this weekend as we begin to look closely at the events leading up to that pivotal moment captured in John 19:16 when, “Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.” To prepare well for our study, read John 18 and 19.
We look forward to experiencing God’s grace with you this weekend!
