Whenever I read it, and I have read it again and again, I am often compelled to stop and worship, to stop and meditate, or to stop and dry my eyes, thanking Christ for His immeasurable sacrifice. This little book is a true treasure.&#8217; &#8212; TIM CHALLIES<\/p>\n<h2>Book Description<\/h2>\n<p>Frederick Leahy spent a lifetime in the ministry of the Word. In these pages, preacher, pastor and theologian come together in a happy unity. No words are wasted. There is nothing of the frothy and insubstantial. Here is satisfying truth, painstakingly quarried and crafted for the needs of God&#8217;s people. A judicious selection of gems from the writings of others provides further enrichment and stimulus to thought.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Foreword<\/td>\n<td>ix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Introduction<\/td>\n<td>xi<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>MAN OF SORROWS<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>PRAYERFUL SUBMISSION<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>STRENGTHENED TO SUFFER<\/td>\n<td>15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>SATAN\u2019S HOUR<\/td>\n<td>23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>THE DUMB LAMB<\/td>\n<td>31<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>TAKING THE OATH<\/td>\n<td>39<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>SENTENCED TO DEATH<\/td>\n<td>47<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>THE BUTT OF MOCKERY<\/td>\n<td>55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>THE CROWN OF THORNS<\/td>\n<td>63<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>OUTSIDE THE GATES<\/td>\n<td>69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td>SATAN\u2019S CUP REFUSED<\/td>\n<td>77<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>12<\/td>\n<td>THE KING AMONG BANDITS<\/td>\n<td>83<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>13<\/td>\n<td>OUTER DARKNESS<\/td>\n<td>91<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Epilogue<\/td>\n<td>99<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Review<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.challies.com\/book-reviews\/book-review-the-cross-he-bore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Review by Tim Challies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meditative studies on the Passion of Christ. 96pp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":128441,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1270],"product_tag":[5297,5595,3050,4164,19987,3052],"class_list":{"0":"post-443","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-theology","7":"product_tag-death-of-christ","8":"product_tag-ebooks","9":"product_tag-humiliation","10":"product_tag-passion-of-christ","11":"product_tag-spring-special","12":"product_tag-sufferings","13":"pa_binding-ebook","14":"pa_binding-paperback","15":"pa_binding-paperback-ebook","16":"pa_class-bp","17":"pa_era-20th-century","18":"pa_format-book","19":"pa_isbn-3054","20":"pa_original-pub-date-2527","21":"pa_page-count-2290","22":"pa_recent-pub-date-dec-1-1996","23":"pa_recent-pub-date-year-6133","24":"pa_scripture-new-testament","25":"pa_theauthor-leahy-frederick","26":"pa_topic-general-theology","27":"pa_topic-jesus-christ","29":"first","30":"instock","31":"purchasable","32":"product-type-variable","33":"has-default-attributes"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
