10 of those

In this thoughtful guidebook to understanding the cross based on a sermon series that he gave in preparation for Easter, Philip G. Ryken sets forth seven answers to seven questions that answer the why and the wherefore of the cross to a Biblical faith.

Ryken covers the necessity of the cross for salvation; the offence it gives to Jews, Gentiles, and any moral individual; the peace it brings to those who trust in Christ; the power it has to achieve God’s loving, saving purpose; the triumph it wins over sin, death, and the judgment of God; the humility it displays in the character of Jesus; and the boast it becomes for every believer.
