If there is a lack of interest in the cross of Jesus Christ, what you may think is Christianity is not.

When all four gospels give laser focus attention to the passion of Christ and you dismiss the work of the cross, you are missing a very key component of Christianity. In the gospel, the cross is central.

Christianity is not about the “enlightenment of the mind” and the avoidance of suffering.

The mark of Christianity is the Cross of Jesus Christ. Lent leads us to the Cross.

No cross — no suffering, death and burial.

No suffering, death, and burial — no resurrection.

Let the Lord lead you to the Cross… and in that you find the gospel.
