<div><p><b>Rather than viewing the cross as an historical event that will take us to heaven, we ought to view it as a current event containing everything we need to bring heaven to bear on earth.</b></p><p></p><p>In <i>The Power of the Cross, </i>Tony Evans carefully and pastorally applies the cross of Christ to life today. In three parts, he considers:</p><ol><li>The <i>person </i>of the cross, Jesus Christ—what makes Him unique; how Old Testament prophecy and typology looked ahead to Him; and how His humiliation, death and resurrection sets Him apart as Lord over all.</li><li>The <i>purpose </i>of the cross—what was accomplished on it for us, how it is to be the centerpiece of our lives, and how it's a source of authority for us.</li><li>The <i>power</i> of the cross in everyday life—the stability it provides, deliverance it offers, the power of its ongoing remembrance, and more.&nbsp;</li></ol><p></p><p>The cross is the hinge of history. How much more, then, is it the hinge of your own life' It gained more for you than you may ever realize; do not make the grave error of overlooking it.</p></div>
