The cross cannot remain an event of the past; without the cross, there would be no resurrection. We can either flee from the cross or embrace it as the means of a slow death of our old nature. Christ's death on His cross brought an end to the jurisdiction of the Law. We have union with Christ in death, resurrection, and ascension when we take up our own cross. The cross is where everything begins to be clear about working out our salvation in Christ. Galatians. Disc 8 of 12 in the Dimensions of Christ's Work at the Cross series. VF-2164
