IN THE SHADOW OF CROSS

The King has entered Jerusalem, and the shadow of the cross is drawing near.In Matthew 21, Jesus rides into the city as the promised King. The crowds cry, "Hosanna," but the days ahead will reveal how differently people respond to Him. He cleanses the temple, teaches about faith and prayer, and confronts religious leaders who question His authority. Through the parables of the two sons and the wicked husbandmen, He exposes the danger of outward religion without true obedience.In In the Shadow of the Cross, Robert N. Graves, Sr. walks through this chapter with a pastor's heart and a clear purpose: to help readers see Jesus Christ more fully. Each passage calls us to look beyond the excitement of the crowd and examine our own response to the King. Will we merely speak words of honor, or will we repent, believe, and follow Him?Rooted in the King James Version, this book offers biblical teaching, personal application, and a steady reminder that Jesus knew what awaited Him in Jerusalem. He continued toward the cross willingly, for sinners in need of a Savior.Whether you are studying Matthew for the first time or returning to a familiar chapter, In the Shadow of the Cross invites you to consider the authority, mercy, and saving purpose of Jesus Christ.
