The Usefulness of the Cross

What does suffering have to do with the life of the Christian? Is suffering something we just have to endure until that time that we will have the victory in Christ? To address this matter, we turn to a classic article by Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., " The Usefulness of the Cross ," The Westminster Theological Journal , Vol. 41 No. 2 Spring 1979, pp. 228–246.
