These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn't Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus' life, sacrificial death and spectacular resurrection.
Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won:
"He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)
This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.
