The cross of Christ is surely the center point of all history.  All God accomplished with mankind prior to the cross of Christ pointed directly toward this event, and all that God has, is, and will accomplish with man since looks back to the death of Christ.  Today we truly live in the shadow of the cross.  No subject in Biblical teaching is more important or central.  To understand the cross is to understand the essence of redemption.  Such understanding brings joy and peace, liberates, and motivates one to serve the Lord.

Dr. David Lawrence presents twelve lectures on the cross beginning with the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man and moving into the effects of sin and prophecies related to the cross.  Then he discusses the ministry, teaching, and death of Jesus and the relationship between the cross and the gospel.  He concludes with lessons on the calling, justification, sanctification, and glorying in the cross.
