The Cross

This collection gathers sermons by David Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who from his first preached sermon in 1925 kept returning to the meaning of Christ's sacrifice for believers. Lloyd-Jones sets out his expository method here, joining a warm, personal devotion to Jesus with careful theological reasoning. The sermons are demanding enough to hold the attention of mature Christians, yet plain enough that a young reader could follow them.

The central subject is how the crucifixion accomplishes human redemption and why it forms the foundation of the Christian life. The book is meant for pastors and preachers, as well as for any reader who wants a deeper relationship with Christ. Its tone is meditative, its explanations are clear, and its teaching rests firmly on Scripture.
