THE CROSS
(Atonement)
On the cross the Righteous One
took our sins and defeated death by death.
He endured for the sake of the joy set before him,
bringing many children to glory (Hebrews (12:2, 2:10).
On the cross, Jesus echoed the psalmist's cry:
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
(Psalm 22:1; Matthew 27:46)."
The Psalms also carry the hope of Christ:
"When I awake, I shall be satisfied with beholding thy form
(Psalm 17:15)."
