Muslims were not the first to reject
The Christian message of the Cross—
In A.D 180 Celsus published an attack against Christianity that
Reflects the Muslim objection [A Discourse against the Christians. R.Joseph Hoffmann]

Jesus is mentioned in 15 surahs and
93 verses of the Quran—
11 times he is called the Messiah
16 times he is referred to as Isa ibn Maryam—Jesus son of Mary

The hadiths [collected sayings of Muhammad]
Also give some descriptions of Jesus—
Muhammad described Jesus (Isa)
‘Jesus had a reddish colouring, was of a medium height, and
His face was covered with freckles.’

There can be no Islam with the Cross and
There can be no Christianity without it—
Many have tried to take Jesus off the CROSS
However HE decided to stay there and die
For the sins of the world—

There was a Cross in the heart of God
Before Jesus died on the Cross of Calvary—
The Cross was not an accident
The Cross was RECOVERY

Many will continue to attack the CROSS of CALVARY
However we have the VICTORY through Jesus Christ our LORD
There can be no Christianity without it—

Mark Frank
