Cross Purposes
Friday, March 30th, 2007
Coming Sunday April 1, the Coral Ridge Hour will air a TV special called ‘Cross Purposes’ …
In this one-hour documentary we explore God’s purposes for the Cross and we counter some bad theology that denies the atonement of Christ. You will hear from such experts as Dr. Kennedy, Paul Maier, and Michael Youssef.
Here’s an excerpt from James Kennedy’s book of the same title…
The Sin of Man:
Merciful Father, when I see Your Son scourged and crowned with piercing thorns, when I see Him languishing on the Cross, please let me remember it was my sins that brought Him to such a place.
The Justice of God:
Every sin you have ever committed will be visited by the infinite wrath of God. The only question is whether God’s wrath will fall on that sin when it is on you or when it is on Christ on the Cross.
The Love of God:
Wonder of wonders that the Creator would die for the creatures’ sin. How astonishing that Jesus, there on the Cross, would pray for those who even just then had nailed Him to that horrible Cross.
