A steady-seller that provides many questions in one's life in Christ, The Message of the Cross is a guidebook that serves as spiritual soil on which believers can gain and grow true faith. It has been translated into 14 languages, including English, German, and Spanish, at the urgings of brothers and sisters around the world.

Every person at least once in his or her life has posed such questions as, "From where have I come and to where am I going?" "Why have I been stricken by disease and why must I suffer?' "In what can I find the true value of life?" More pressing is the heart of people burdened by the problems of disease and troubles to which there are seemingly no answers, and desperately seeking a way out. (Editors)

A kind companion on the journey to heaven

The greatest advantage of this work is that the key – salvation, eternal life, healing, God's power – to solving such problems is no longer just a concept but comes to us as a part of every-day experiences.
Just as Hebrews 11:3b tells us, "What is seen was not made out of things which are visible," the works of God's power manifested on the mission fields of author Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee can only be attributed as the result of adherence to the law of the spiritual realm*.
From the time he was called the "disease warehouse" to the point at which he became a pastor of God's power standing atop the world, the author's journey of faith itself is the living proof. He is now clearly showing others how they can tread that path. Furthermore, a reader feels as though the author is walking right beside them while reading The Message of the Cross. This is because the book contains and shows with caution the hurt, the difficulties, and the things to watch out for as the author has traveled this path ahead of them.
While walking along with the author, readers will become certain of their salvation, experience the restoration of their health, and find peace in hearts clouded in suffering.
This book has been read by people from many walks of life not just at home in Korea but around the globe. All of them unanimously testify to having their lives changed and problems resolved.

God's love for the mankind

Throughout the history of Christianity, many books on the significance of the Passion of the Christ and the blessings therein have been written and published. This is because the significance of that topic cannot be disputed and it is the core of one's life in Christ. In Korea, a nation known around the world for its numbers of churches and Christian population, many books on this very topic are also available, teach Christians spirituality, and serve as a guide for them.
A notable characteristic of The Message of the Cross is that while it maintains intact the doctrine of salvation found in conventional Christianity, it has delved further into the concept. Moreover, the work serves as bridges among previously unanswered topics by thoroughly addressing them.
For instance, many people ask, "If God indeed loves man, why did He place the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?" and they would discover the Providence of God's love from The Message of the Cross. The book also offers clearer explanations to topics and concepts with which many Christians are familiar, thereby solidifying the readers' faith. One such example is how the lost authority of the disobedient Adam was recovered by Jesus Christ according to the law of the redemption of the land** and how He opened the path to salvation.
Here is where we can grasp the precise law of the spiritual realm of God, the source of wisdom. This is where the readers can appreciate the author's spirituality of great depths.
By rediscovering the spiritual significance of the words of the Scriptures, he has added refreshing spiritual knowledge. It is according to God's Providence that Jesus was born in a manger and, while the most affluent, chose to lead a life of destitution so that the readers would enjoy prosperity. From a part when the author writes that we now have a way to be healed because Jesus was flogged and shed all His blood on the cross, readers can find the way to solve the problem of disease (1 Peter 2:24). By Our Lord's donning of the crown of thorns and having His hands and feet nailed on the cross, the author reminds the readers that He has forgiven us all of the sins we commit with our mind, hands, and feet, and that the passage to the resolution of the problem of sin can be found.

*The Law of the Spiritual Realm

After children of God have accepted Jesus Christ, they receive salvation, eternal life, His answers, and blessings. This requires their faith and understanding of the law of God, who is spirit, and the law is found in the 66 books of the Bible. Examples of the law of the spiritual realm are "For the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23) and "For whatever a man sows, this he will also reap" (Galatians 6:7), among others.

**The Law of the Redemption of the Land

Israel's law of the redemption of the land varies from that of other countries; when one sells a piece of land, it is not sold permanently but the provision of the redemption of the land is clearly stated in the contracts so that the land can be recovered at a later date. The law has allowed the recovery of the sold land by one's nearest kinsman who can afford to do so, and if the individual has no kinsman he could do so on his own in the future (Leviticus 25:23-25).
The law of the redemption of the land is directly related to the law of the spiritual realm on the salvation of mankind. Following his disobedience, Adam had to relinquish all authority he had received from God to the enemy devil but when an individual who is fit to redeem that authority comes along, the enemy devil must return that authority. God had prepared Jesus Christ, qualified according to the law of the redemption of the land, and opened the door to salvation.

'The Message of the Cross' is an affirmation of God's love.

I accepted Jesus Christ because I knew that God loved me to the point of giving up His One and Only Son for me. As time passed, however, I grew increasingly uncertain of that love. I had been taught that the reason Jesus died on the cross was the way God showed His love for me and that, without detailed explanations, it was for God to be magnified.
Yet, I found that The Message of the Cross clearly explained why the Passion of the Christ was a display of God's love for me. God's Providence of the cultivation of mankind was to gain true children who would fathom His heart and love Him from the depths of their hearts, lead them to heaven, and have them enjoy the kind of joy that cannot be experienced in this world. In other words, I have come to realize that God was not using mankind for His glory but, in His infinite love, was seeking to gain true children.
With The Message of the Cross, I have found God's love that has settled not in my brain as a mere piece of knowledge but in my heart.
