Cross Examined and Cross Encountered is a wonderful book written by Adrian Ebens on the theme of the meaning of the Cross to mankind. When we come to the realization of the value of the soul to God by looking at the Cross of Calvary, we will see the great need of knowing who we truly are in the eyes of Our Father. Christ suffered for all those who live upon the earth. To accept the reality of Christ's agony and suffering involves the complete surrender of oneself to walk with Him and come into the fellowship of His sufferings in concern for others.
What a joy to know the truth, and the truth set the heart free and sanctified! (John 17:17). I, like many of us I think, have had many thoughts regarding the day of judgment: how every knee shall bow down before God and books be opened, there will be weighing of rights and wrongs therefore determining which side one will go (heaven or hell)…this brought so many questions to my mind. Who will be the Judge, God or Christ? How will the judgement process be? Where will it take place? How many judgements are there? Etc.
