Cruciformity: Shaped by the Cross
Our lives are shaped by the images that surround us. Each one sends a different message about life—what it means to be a “real” man or woman, what a “satisfying” relationship is like, what success looks like, or how “good” parents act, just to name a few. In a real way, we become the images we behold.
At the heart of the gospel lies the message that we look to all the wrong things in life. We allow all kinds of images to shape us that, instead of breathing life into us, steal it away. So, how do we find that illusory real life?
In the gospel, real life is found through an image of death – the cross of Jesus Christ. In other words, if we want to live, our lives must be shaped by the cross. Cruciformity is the way to life.
And so, join us at this year’s CLC as Dr. Tim Keller and Dr. Dan Doriani unpack for us what it means to have our faith and actions shaped by the cross of Christ.
