What Jesus did on the cross provides the pinnacle example of how Christians are to live our lives. Without the cross, there is no Gospel. And as Paul says, if Christ is not raised, our faith is in vain (1 Cor 15:17).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"207\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-38361\" alt=\"crucifixion of Jesus\" src=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Crucifixion-570x207.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Crucifixion-570x207.jpg 570w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Crucifixion-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Crucifixion.jpg 615w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I have written a lot on this blog about the death and resurrection of Jesus, and some people have asked that I make these posts more accessible to readers.
