There are few questions in Christian theology that generate as much confusion and curiosity as this one: Did Jesus go to hell between His death and resurrection?

OthersContinue reading “Where Was Jesus Between the Cross and the Resurrection? Why Jesus Didn’t Need to Go to Hell”

With a few swipes of a screen we can peer into the homes, holidays, achievements, ministries, bodies, wardrobes, and successes of countless people. Whether through social media, advertising, or the subtle pressures of modern life, we are constantly told that what we have isContinue reading “Overcoming Comparison: Finding Christ-Centered Contentment”
The Man on the Middle Cross
Few gospel summaries are as arresting, or as disarmingly simple, as the line that inspired Alistair Begg’s short book The Man on the Middle Cross “The man on the middle cross said I can come.” Maybe you recognise that phrase from a video that does the rounds on social media every few months.
