The only way to the empty tomb is through the cross. There were disciples who followed him for years, they gave up everything, left their families to follow Christ. But when it came time for his crucifixion only John could be found standing at the foot the cross. We all have 20/20 hindsight today. Where would you have been if you lived during that time? In all honesty I don’t know where I would have been. And if I am real honest, probably hiding.
I see the scourges tear His back,
I see the piercing crown,
And of that crowd who smite and mock,
I feel that I am one.‘Twas I that shed the sacred blood,
I nailed Him to the tree,
I crucified the Christ of God,
I joined the mockery.Yet not the less that blood avails,
To cleanse away my sin;
And not the less that cross prevails
To give me peace within.(Horatius Bonar)
For it was I who nailed him to the cross, it was I who made him die. But in return I was saved.
I read a lot of books, some I read for personal pleasure, some I read for reviewing and others I read for my spiritual growth. As we are entering Easter, I thought I would provide you with a list of my top 10 books that not only touched me deeply but drew me closer to Christ. (in no particular order)
