This book The Cross and the Crown, By Ken Chant, covers the earthly ministry of Jesus. This is a companion book to both Emmanuel, which shows the full humanity and the deity of Christ, and the significance of this to us, and the book Highly Exalted, which covers the heavenly ministry of Jesus. The first section The Cross, reveals what the suffering of the cross meant to Jesus; what it means to us, and its wonderful power to redeem and to change our lives; to save and heal and deliver us from the fear of death. The second section The Crown, deals with the resurrection. This included the proofs of the resurrection, our own glorious future with Christ, and the ability and the power that the resurrection gives us to live victoriously, now in this present world.
