THE WORK VS THE WAY
OF THE CROSS

Galatians 6:14 · Philippians 3:10

THE CROSS IN FULL
"God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."
GALATIANS 6:14
ONE EVENT — TWO DIMENSIONS
THE CROSS OF CHRIST
THE WORK
Accomplished once
Finished at Calvary
Objective fact
Christ died for me
Believed and reckoned
Justification
WHAT CHRIST DID
THE WAY
Experienced daily
Ongoing in the believer
Subjective reality
The cross applied daily
Embraced and walked
Transformation
WHAT THE CROSS DOES IN ME
THE WORK OF THE CROSS
OLD TESTAMENT PICTURE
BUT THERE IS A SECOND DIMENSION
THE WAY OF THE CROSS
OLD TESTAMENT PICTURE
THE DIAGNOSTIC
THE WILDERNESS

The cross is not only an event behind you.

It is a path beneath you.

The Work sets you free. The Way forms you.

You cannot have the image without both.

WHAT THE WAY REQUIRES
THE RESULT

The cross is not a doctrine to be mastered.
It is a Person to be conformed to —
until there is nothing left
but Christ.
