#80 The Empty Cross

The message of the cross is the message of the completed, finished work of God in Christ - the empty cross, whereupon all crucifixion activity has ceased, for Jesus Christ has risen from the dead and come to live within the indwelt Christian. The message of the cross is the message of liberating freedom to be all that God intends us to be by His grace in the out-living of His character within the frail human temperamental soul of man.
