7 Words from the Cross - Devotional

Series Introduction

We will shortly celebrate the season of Eastertide. It is customary and good for us to examine the historical events leading to the resurrection of Jesus Christ because within His victory lies the basis for our hope. In John 14:19 we read: “Because I live, you will live also.” This verse can be used to explain the Chief Apostle’s year-beginning message: “Let us make 2016 a year of victories with Christ.”
