This episode explores the relationship between the Cross and the Kingdom:
- The cross is the heart of the Christian faith and the true gospel.
- The cross is the means by which Christ brought redemption to the world.
- The cross provides "benefits" to those who receive Christ's perfect work, by faith (see: Psalm 103).
- The cross is the "key" that unlocks the door to the Kingdom of God in the lives of believers.
- The cross is not an end, but a means to an end- to bring followers of Jesus into the realm of God's rule and reign.
