The last moments leading up to Jesus’ death were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. And in those details are gifts Christ provided for us. The cross. The thorns. The nails. His seamless robe. The empty tomb. God didn’t have to give us all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.

For too long, the American Church has neglected the theology of the cross, replacing biblical truth with appealing but shallow doctrines. In Banner of the Cross, L. D. Hills calls believers back to sound biblical teaching, ensuring that the cross and Christ's atoning blood remain central to Christian faith and worship.

Who was Jesus of Nazareth? Many admire his spiritual teachings; some go further and claim him as the messiah, while a few deny he ever existed at all. But everyone has an opinion about this obscure preacher who lived his brief life in one of the less significant regions of the Roman Empire; and who, in being crucified, died the traditional death for criminals and trouble-makers. Jesus lived in turbulent times. Under Roman rule, Judea was a hotbed of nationalist, political and religious interests, all vying for power.

“Instintivamente no colocamos a Cristo en la misma clase con otras personas. Cuando uno encuentra su nombre en una lista que comienza con Confucio y termina con Goethe, sentimos que se trata de una ofensa a la ortodoxia tanto como a la decencia. Jesús no pertenece al grupo de los grandes de la historia. Que se hable de Alejandro el Grande, de Carlos el Grande, de Napoleón el Grande... Jesús está aparte. El no es Grande: es Único. Es sencillamente Jesús. Nada puede añadirse a este nombre... El desafía todo análisis. Confunde todos los cánones de la naturaleza humana. Obliga a ...

At the heart of the of the Christian faith are things that are meant to have happened in Palestine between 5 BC and AD 30.
