Written by Billy Graham (1918-2018), an American evangelist. This is an excerpt from his book “What Happened at the Cross.”
True believers in Jesus Christ have no doubt that He lived among us, died for our sins on the cross, and after three days was resurrected to life, conquering the sting of death, and offering the human race the greatest gift — His sacrificial and saving love. Many people do not fully grasp the impact that the crucified and risen Christ makes upon the human heart. How do I know this? Because there is no change in them… If you believe that Jesus rose from the grave, achieving victory over the cross of death, and you accept that He paid your penalty, you will never be the same. The cross represents doom for sin and hope for sinners. It condemns sin and cleanses souls. The cross is where Jesus was crucified in our place and where Christ brings resurrection life to mankind.
Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind! [Psalm 66:5]
