Cross Quote #5
From C. J. Mahaney's The Cross-Centered Life:
The cross is the centerpiece of Paul's theology. It wasn't merely one of Paul's messages; it was the message. He taught about other things as well, but whatever he taught was always derived from, and related to, the foundational reality that Jesus Christ died so that sinners would be reconciled to God and forgiven by God.
Theologian D. A. Carson writes, "He cannot long talk about Christian joy, or Christian ethics, or Christian fellowship, or the Christian doctrine of God, or anything else, without finally tying it to the cross. Paul is Gospel-centered; he is cross-centered."

I have heard about this book. Is it a good read?
Excellent little book. I'll be quoting more from it in the future. It's very brief, can be read in one sitting without trouble. I found it very inspiring.
I will gladly read anything by Lloyd Jones. And seeing as how I've made a commitment to continue to read about the cross of Christ, that book is definitely going on my reading list. Thanks for the recomendation, Dan.
