The Tree, The Cross, and the Spirit (#870)

870 – The Tree, The Cross, and the Spirit
The last time we met we talked about the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Many years ago I bumped into so many Christians who thought and taught that the crucifixion was the most important thing to focus on in Christianity.  So I decided to take a look at that and see what the scripture says.
