Additional Info
Jesus was condemned . . . so we could be set free. He was wounded . . . so we can be healed. He died . . . so we might have life. The cross has lost much of its appeal as a symbol of Christianity. Yet what Christ did at the cross remains central to our faith. Michael Card calls us to focus our attention once again on the cross. Explore with this impassioned troubadour the Old Testament prophecies and Gospel accounts of Jesus’ self-sacrifice. Follow Jesus to the cross and realize anew that God’s free gift of grace to us was purchased at the cost of inconceivable violence to his Son.
