4. Introduction to the Cross of Christ
The cross of Christ centers around the Christ of the Cross.
It is not the cross that held the Man, but the Man that held the cross that arrests our attention.
While there have been many crucifixions throughout the centuries, none has been as notable as one of the three that took place in Jerusalem in A.D. 30.
The victim on the middle cross was Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
