The cross of Calvary was ever casting its terrible shadow across the path of Christ. It is interesting and instructive to mark Christ's repeated reference to His death.
The death of Christ is—
1. The testimony to man's sin (Act 2:23).
2. The triumph of God's grace (Hbr 2:9).
3. The trysting place where God and the sinner can meet (1Ti 2:5-6).
4. The title to eternal life (Jhn 12:24).
5. The temple for refuge (Hbr 9:12-14).
6. The teacher for instruction (Tts 2:11-12).
7. The tether for binding (Gal 2:20).
