What’s the big deal with the Cross…

The Last Seven Words of Christ while on the Cross

A few weeks ago I was having a discussion with my pastor Warren Coe about some thoughts I had been having about items to post on this blog.  I had been thinking that God was telling me to discuss some issues reguarding the importance of Jesus’ Crucifixion. 

I asked Warren the question, "Can you help me describe what is the big deal with the Cross"?  Meaning how can we describe it to both Christians and non-Christians alike in a way that we all can understand it. 

In my layman’s mind, I know it is a huge deal, but I don’t have a full-orbed understanding of all of its implications.

Well, it just so happened that Warren was going to be starting a series on the "Cross of Christ" called "The Voice From The Cross" taken from a book by Richard Bodey.  This series was going to be focusing on the last seven words of Christ while on the cross.

So, I bugged Warren and he has given me permission to post his series here.  I’m hoping I can convince him to become a regular contributor.  You can email him to help me convince him.

Starting today, I will be posting his current series "Voice From The Cross".  We would greatly appreciate your feedback.

I hope you enjoy this series and most of all, I hope you have a blessed Easter (or as some say Resurrection Sunday).

About waynem

As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work. My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams. My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.

    Thanks for the post. Great series that has gotten me to rethink the cross. This sure will make a great resource reference for my work. I suppose the cross is a topic that can never be exhausted. The power, depth of meaning and example that it leaves is life altering.
    Thanks again for the post,
    Pastor Vance Williamson
