Gratitude and amazement towards our Father who ‘demonstrated His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.’ (Rom 5:8). Jesus gave His life for us through the tortuous implement of subjugation perfected by the Romans – the cross of crucifixion.

These seven sayings or phrases from the Cross of Christ could be summarised as expressions of: Forgiveness, Salvation, Relationship, Abandonment, Distress, Victory and Trust.
