I chose the title Come to the Cross from listening to the sermons of the great evangelist Billy Graham. These words really spoke to me, but what does come to the cross really mean?
Imagine that you were standing there witnessing the crucifixion of Jesus as the apostle John was on that day. Imagine if you could hear all the sounds that John heard, with all the people screaming and others wailing in sorrow. What if you could actually hear the words Jesus spoke from the cross, with the smell of His blood in the air? What would it be like to look into the eyes of Jesus as He gasped for breath, knowing that He was enduring all this torture and pain so that you could be set free from all your sin?
I believe that no one could look upon this and not be changed forever. History has proven that this event took place exactly as the Bible tells us it did. Anyone can now travel to Israel today and stand at the place of His crucifixion. God inspired me to write this book to help people understand who God is and why Jesus had to suffer and die so those who believe in Him can receive eternal life with Him in His kingdom forever. Let your mind ponder this awhile: We are now living on the eve of the darkest times the world will ever know. Jesus called this time "the beginning of sorrows." The time is at hand to come to the cross, surrender your life, and receive the salvation that Christ gave His life for.
