十字架的嘲弄與威榮 │The Mockery And Majesty Of Calvary (Traditional Chinese Discovery Series Booklet))

從恥辱到榮耀

有哪一件事值得所有報章天天把它當成頭條新聞呢？是一樁眾所週知的醜聞，是一場戰事，或是一項和平倡議呢？都不是。唯有基督受難的事，才是值得成為所有報紙的頭條新聞！縱觀歷史，沒有任何人或事，能比耶穌受難、受死這件事，更能彰顯出上帝的慈愛，以及人心的敗壞。

這本小冊子摘自柯貝爾（Bill Crowder）所著的《耶穌最後的11堂課》（The Path Of His
Passion）一書。作者柯貝爾以生動的筆觸描繪了耶穌被釘十字架的事件，帶領我們回顧那悲壯和奇妙的一天。這不但讓我們體會到十字架所承受的嘲弄和羞辱，也看到十字架所彰顯的威嚴與尊榮。這些能讓我們明白，為什麼這樁事件，不但值得登上報紙頭條，更應該讓我們反覆思想，並成為你我餘生的生命重心。
