The Promise and Power of Easter: Audio Bible Studies: Captivated by the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus - Audiobook (Unabridged)

The only thing that truly changes the trajectory of any of our lives is realizing the magnitude of what happened on the Cross.

The first person who officially acknowledged the deity of Jesus by referring to Him as the Son of God wasn't one of the disciples or someone He healed, it was the Roman military officer who presided over His crucifixion. That centurion never got to watch our Redeemer heal a leper or walk on water. The only thing he watched Jesus do was die. And it changed the trajectory of his life because he realized only the King of all kings would choose to lay down His crown and be crushed on behalf of His people.

Since that Good Friday over 2,000 years ago, Christianity is the only religion in the world whose belief system centers around a Savior who suffered. We're the only ones who place our hope in a deity who's so radically compassionate, He was willing to die so that we could live. Many of us live knowing a lot but living a bit like we don't know much at all. The difference between performance and devotion is rarely defined by outward behavior. The only thing that truly changes the trajectory of any of our lives is realizing the magnitude of what happened on the Cross. We can all relate to the lengths we go to for those we love. And our Redeemer went to lengths that leave us in awestruck gratitude. That's what this study is about. Taking the time to remember the reality and result of our unconditional transformative redemption! When your heart becomes more cognizant of what took place on that old, rugged cross everything changes.

In this four-week Bible study taught by Christine Caine and Lisa Harper, we will remember together what led up to the cross and join hands in awesome celebration of the restoration we received when Jesus rose again. What a gift to reflect and rise together in the Lord's power and glory!
