Hung on the Cross with Fred Coulter
The cross is easy to turn into a symbol we recognize but do not feel. It hangs in churches, rests on necklaces, and appears in songs so often that its violence can fade into the background. Yet the New Testament does not let the cross stay distant. It presses the question close: What does it mean to be crucified with Christ?
The takeaway is a life surrendered to Christ
The phrase “hung on the cross” should never become casual language. It points to the suffering of Jesus, the seriousness of sin, and the cost of redemption. It also points to the believer’s union with Christ, where the old self is judged and a new life begins.
Fred Coulter’s work can lead readers back to themes that deserve close attention: Passover, covenant, repentance, obedience, and the authority of Scripture. Those themes matter because they bring the cross out of the realm of decoration and back into the center of life. www.cbcg.org
