Synopsis

The cross is perhaps the most recognizable symbol of Christianity. It adorns places of worship, is worn on clothing and jewelry as personal expressions of faith, and even forms part of ritual gestures in some traditions. Yet beyond all outward displays, the cross points to the heart of the Christian faith.

In 1 Corinthians 2:2, the apostle Paul declared his singular ministerial focus: “For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified”.

For Paul, the crux of the gospel he proclaimed was not human wisdom or religious ceremony, but the unique Person and saving work of the Lord Jesus Christ. That work is supremely revealed in His atoning death on the cross and vindicated in His resurrection.

This year's Lagos Bible Conference will set its focus on what Christ accomplished through His crucifixion and resurrection to secure redemption for His people.

Together, we aim to explore the riches of this theme so that believers are more deeply grounded in the truth of the gospel, and unbelievers are confronted with their urgent need for the Saviour.
