Catechism

Why was it necessary for Christ to humble himself even unto death?

Christ humbled himself unto death because the justice of God required that satisfaction for my sins could be made in no other way than by the death of the Son of God.

(Matt 27:46; Phil 2:8)

Sing-Along Song of the Week

The Power of the Cross

(Keith Getty; Stuart Townend)

 

Verse 1

Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day

Christ on the road to Calvary

Tried by sinful men torn and beaten then

Nailed to a cross of wood

 

Verse 2

Oh to see the pain written on Your face

Bearing the awesome weight of sin

Ev'ry bitter thought ev'ry evil deed

Crowning Your bloodstained brow

 

Chorus 1

This the pow'r of the cross

Christ became sin for us

Took the blame bore the wrath

We stand forgiven at the cross

 

Verse 3

Now the daylight flees now the ground beneath

Quakes as its Maker bows His head

Curtain torn in two dead are raised to life

Finished the vict'ry cry

 

Verse 4

Oh to see my name written in the wounds

For through Your suff'ring I am free

Death is crushed to death life is mine to live

Won through Your selfless love

 

Chorus 2

This the pow'r of the cross

Son of God slain for us

What a love what a cost

We stand forgiven at the cross
