Lent & Easter season devotional
Reflect on the Wondrous Cross
Reflect on Christ's sacrifice drawn from the songs and hymns of Easter through CT's 2022 Easter devotional.
The Wondrous Cross includes an 8-week reading plan, each delving into Scripture and core theological ideas related to Jesus’ death and resurrection.
The Cross is the great revealer, exposing the temporary stuff of earth and directing our hearts and minds toward the everlasting substance of eternity.
Jay Y. Kim
My own needy, imperfect humility becomes intimately commingled with the perfect humility of Jesus as we continue the grueling walk up the hill.
Fernando Ortega
But were you there? The song invites us not to sing it without answering it, refusing to let us forget what happened, and what still goes on in sorrowing places.
Patricia Raybon
