Opis

Christ's cross at Golgotha stands as the pivotal scene in all of earth's history, and it is to this scene that Landon Rainier draws us in a stirring and vivid account of all that took place the day that Jesus died on Calvary. Those who know and love the Saviour will be deeply moved as they are led to consider, once again, how the great love and mercy of God was extended to them that day through the cross. Beyond this, however, L.T. Rainier demonstrates that those who are so loved by God are called and enabled by grace to show a great love to Him in return as they, too, take up their crosses and follow where their Lord has led. The message of the Christian's cross is neither popular nor prolific; there are few ministers who still dare to teach and preach it's truths, but all true followers of Christ are promised that there will be a cross for them to bear. This is evident simply because, by definition, those who follow Christ walk where He walked. We are living as aliens and strangers in a hostile land and, as John says "as He is, so also are we in this world." For each Christian, this cross will take a different form, being fitted perfectly for that individual. Rainier, however, demonstrates that, through our crosses, no matter what they might be, we will find the precious gifts of a faith that endures, fellowship with God and ultimate triumph. Rainier's handling of the issues at hand brings to mind both the depth of thought in the writings of A.W. Tozer and the accessibility evident in the preaching of D.L. Moody. However, no other book, apart from the Bible, has focused so clearly upon the inevitable cross of suffering that Christ's followers must bear. In his book, Mr. Rainier calls Christians to genuine, determined commitment as they are enabled by the grace of God to hold fast to their own crosses in spite of adversity, persecution and sometimes even a martyr's death. The Book includes an Index of the over 350 Scripture References Cited and a General Index to support students in their studies.
