With Easter approaching, here are some great resources for us to focus on the cross and resurrection in our own lives and in sharing with our family and friends.
A PhD student in Europe who is writing his dissertation on various depictions of the cross in film was fascinated with the KNN production of The Cross and noted that many of our shots and approaches were very similar to those later used in The Passion.
This message just came in: "Amazing! Thank you so much..my husband and I meet alone here in Qatar...this will really make our Easter. Blessings to you and your family."
Also recently we became aware that many of the members in the International Churches of Christ have not yet seen The Cross. This award-winning short film written and produced by disciples was shown at the New York Independent Film Festival on September 12, 2001 and later at the LA Short Film Festival. The quality 22 minute film powerfully depicts the cross and the resurrection from Jesus' point of view and is effective in large audiences, in small groups and in personal studies.

Life Changing Lessons from the Cross
This series of three Bible Discussions explores the way the whole Bible, God’s plan of salvation and Jesus’ life on earth are all focussed on the Cross and it clarifies the real impact of Easter on our lives.
The focus is on:
• Understanding God’s Love for Us,
• Responding to Jesus Sacrifice for Us and
• Participating in Jesus Sacrifice for Us.
An easily customised (MS Publisher) Invitation to the ‘Life Changing Lessons from the Cross’ Series is included. Although this series is best run at Easter time, it will work at any time of the year.
The series will have the biggest impact on people without a deep knowledge of the Bible and who are interested in studying further.
