19. The Cross is the greatest revelation of God's divine nature. There is nothing anyone can do, say, or preach, that will reveal more about God than THE CROSS.

22. Isa. 53:1 Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

23. Isa. 53:2 For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; And when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.

25. Isa. 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men

26. Isa. 53:3 A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:

29. Isa. 53:3 And we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed him not.

30. Isa. 53:4 Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:

31. Isa. 53:4 Yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

32. Isa. 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,

35. Isa. 53:5 And with His stripes, we are healed.

37. Isa. 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned every one, to his own way; And the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

38. Isa. 53:7 He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth:

39. Isa. 53:7 He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, So He openeth not His mouth.

40. Isa. 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: And who shall declare his generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living: For the transgression of my people was He stricken.

41. Isa. 53:9 And He made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; Because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.

44. Isa. 53:11 He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; For He shall bear their iniquities.

45. Isa. 53:12 Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; Because He hath poured out His soul unto death: And He was numbered with the transgressors; And He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

47. Are you able to handle the cross?

48. The spotless Son of God hung upon the cross, His flesh lacerated with stripes; Those hands so often reached out in blessing, nailed to the wooden bars; Those feet so tireless on ministries of love, spiked to the tree; That royal head pierced by the crown of thorns; those quivering lips shaped to the cry of woe.

49. And all that He endured, the blood drops that flowed from His head, His hands, His feet, the agony that racked His frame, and the unutterable anguish that filled His soul at the hiding of His Father's face, speaks to each child of humanity, declaring,

50. It is for thee, that the Son of God consents to bear this burden of guilt; For thee, He spoils the domain of death, and opens the gates of Paradise.

51. He who stilled the angry waves and walked the foam-capped billows, Who made devils tremble and disease flee, Who opened blind eyes and called forth the dead to life, Offers Himself upon the cross as a sacrifice, and this from love to thee.

52. He, The Sin Bearer, endures the wrath of divine justice, and for thy sake, becomes sin itself.

56. Righteousness Through Christ For God hath made Jesus to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Jesus 2 Cor. 5:21

57. Righteousness Through Christ The love existing between the Father and His Son cannot be portrayed. It is measureless. In Christ, God saw the beauty and perfection of excellence that dwells in Himself. Wonder, O heavens, and be astonished, O earth, for God spared not His own Son, but gave Him up to be made sin for us, that those who believe may be made the righteousness of God in Him. . . .
