THE POWER OF THE CROSS
Grace Bible Conference
September 15-17
Maryville, TN
The cross – some hate everything it stands for. Others consider it most precious. Still others consider it foolishness. From before the foundation of the world, according to the kind intention of His will, the Father was pleased to crush His Beloved Son on the cross in order to appease His wrath and give us eternal life.
In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. (Ephesians 1:7)
Let us learn together, fellowship together and remind each other of this lavish grace. We have a need to sing together – “Let us come behold the wondrous mystery: Christ the Lord upon the tree; in the stead of ruined sinners hangs the Lamb in victory! See the price of our redemption; see the Father’s plan unfold, bringing many sons to glory, grace unmeasured, love untold!”
By the cross we know the gravity of sin and the greatness of God’s love toward us.
– John Chrysostom
