RestoredGenesis 1: 31, Genesis 3:6-11, Isaiah 59:2, Romans 5:10, Romans 5:1Jesus died on the cross to restore our broken relationship with God. The CrossIn the ancient world, the cross was a symbol of shame, death, and defeat. Among the Jewish people, anyone who died on a cross was considered cursed by God, and the Romans viewed those who were crucified with contempt. This is why the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 1:23, “but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.” Even today, the cross remains difficult for many to understand. Yet, the cross stands at the center of God’s redemptive plan and the very heart of the gospel. Every believer knows Jesus died for them on the cross, but even for people of faith, its meaning can be challenging to fully grasp. Further, scripture describes the work of Christ on the cross in several different ways, adding complexity to our endeavors to understand it. With this series, we will examine key biblical passages that illuminate these different dimensions of the cross and help us to grow a deeper and fuller understanding of its profound significance.Orchard Community Church8180 Telephone RdVentura CA 93004www.OrchardVentura.orgContact us at Info@OrchardVentura.orgOrchard's Streaming and Song Select CCLI# 160190
