Jesus came into the world so that he could lay down his life for our sake, for our salvation. But to experience the reality of our redemption to know freedom from our disobedience, pride, anger, self-centeredness, and other nagging sins that still keep us bound we must take hold of the power in Jesus' cross and apply it to our lives. Then we will share in the victory that Jesus won for us.

The Life-Giving Power of the Cross, the newest Scripture guide of the popular Keys to the Bible series, helps us to realize that Christ's victory is our victory as well. This six-session Bible study is especially pertinent during Lent but can be used at any time of the year. Each session features

the Scripture text to be studied and insightful commentary;

questions for reflection, discussion, and personal application;

"In the Spotlight" sections offering wisdom from the saints and the church as well as fascinating historical background about Jesus' passion and crucifixion.
