The cross is the center of history, the Bible, and the Christian life. In fact, the Bible explicitly ties every single thing that believers are called to do, think, believe, or say to what Jesus did for us on the cross. "Walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us." "Welcome one another as Christ welcomed you." "As Christ has forgiven you, so you also must forgive." These are Cross Connections- specific lines of motivation drawn from the cross to our lives. The Christian life was designed to be lived in these connections. This collection of 18 Cross Connections will help you to dig into the riches of God's grace and start to live more fully in the good of the gospel.
