William Temple, a nineteenth-century English bishop, once concluded a sermon to Oxford students with the words of the hymn “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” But he cautioned against taking the song lightly. “If you mean [the words] with all your hearts, sing them as loud as you can,” Temple said. “If you don’t mean them at all, keep silent. If you mean them even a little, and want to mean them more, sing them very softly.” The crowd went quiet as everyone eyed the lyrics. Slowly, thousands of voices began to sing in a whisper, mouthing the final lines with gravity: “Love so amazing, so divine / Demands my soul, my life, my all.” Those Oxford students understood the reality that believing in and following Jesus is a serious choice, because it means saying yes to a radical love that demands everything from us. Following Christ requires our entire life, our whole being. He plainly told His disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). No one should make this choice flippantly. Yet, following Jesus is also the way to our deepest joy. Life with Him, we’ll discover, is the life we truly desire. It appears a great paradox. However, if we respond to God’s love, believe in Christ, and relinquish our selfish, shortsighted demands, we’ll find the life our soul craves (v. 25).

The Wondrous Cross by David Antwi

“He is not here – He is risen!” On Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate the victory of Jesus – not just a great teacher or prophet, but God Himself, risen from the dead. The empty tomb declares it: Christ is alive, and nothing will ever be the same.

It's good Friday today, and we're remembering Jesus' death on the cross to pay the price for our sins. But the best part of the story is ?' he didn't stay dead! God raised him to life on the third day. But believing that, can be a pretty big hurdle for some people. There have been all sorts of theories put forward to try to explain this miracle, some people say the disciples stole the body, or he wasn't fully dead, or the disciples went to the wrong grave?.today on Set Free, Ken Legg addresses many of those theories and shows us that Jesus' resurrection is real, and holds great hope for us today!

Christians talk a lot about Jesus' blood. When taking communion we remember that the wine represents Jesus’ blood. When we talk about Jesus' death we say he 'shed his blood' and that 'His blood covers our sins'. We even sing about His blood! So what's so special about Jesus' blood? Does it have special powers in and of itself?

This week we're doing a lot of thinking about Jesus' crucifixion. Jesus died, was buried and was raised to life, to pay the punishment for our sins. But is that all that Jesus' death on the cross actually achieved? Ken Legg says there's more to it?.find out more on Set Free today.

In Episode 15 of The Choral Director's Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker explores The Orchestral Choral Instrument, urging conductors to approach the choir with the same expectation for metrical precision, rhythmic clarity, and expressive articulation typically reserved for orchestral sections. Learn why energized consonants and pure vowels must be mastered before a chorus can effectively join forces with an orchestra—and why the music itself must be conducted, not just the singers. This week's listener question delves into the rehearsal real estate of programming choral music. Today's inspiration features "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" arranged by Gilbert Martin, performed by The William Baker Festival Singers from their 2002 "Sing and Ponder" album. Tune in for another episode of practical insight and choral inspiration.

So much happened when Jesus was crucified. The Gospel of Matthew records that certain phenomena took place ?' there was darkness over the land, the veil in the temple was supernaturally torn in half, and then there was an earthquake resulting in graves opening and people coming out of them and going into the city appearing to people. So how do we explain these things, and what is their significance? Ken Legg begins his series ?Surveying the Wondrous Cross? today on Set Free.

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | Isaac Watts' famous hymn, "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross" remains one of the most popular hymns of all time. Inspired by a heart-felt passion that worship ought to be heart-felt, Watts pens this hymn drawing from the deep well of Galatians 6. In 5 stanzas, he paints a picture of a cross that is, against all worldly paradigms, "wondrous."

“When I Survey The Wondrous Cross” arranged by Lowell Mason. Presented as the postlude to worship at First UMC - Gainesville, FL on 6 April 2025 by Lynn Sandefur-Gardner on piano.

One of the great hymn writers of all time, Isaac Watts, wrote “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” In penning its lyrics, he used the poetic device of paradox to show a contrast in themes: “my richest gain I count but loss” and “pour contempt on all my pride.” We sometimes call these “oxymorons,” words used in seeming contradiction to themselves—like “awfully good” and “jumbo shrimp.” In the case of Watts’s lyrics, this device is far more profound. Jesus used paradox often. “Blessed are the poor in spirit” (Matthew 5:3), He said, suggesting that those who have no hope will receive more than they could ever hope for. Jesus speaks to you and me who’ve lost someone dear (v. 4), assuring us that those who are sad “will be comforted.” Later in His ministry Jesus says, “Many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first” (19:30). Jesus was showing how in God’s kingdom the common rules of religion don’t apply. These paradoxes tell us that life in Christ defies all expectations: we who are nobodies are cherished as somebodies. It was on the cross that Jesus bore a visual paradox—a crown of thorns. Isaac Watts took this symbol of ridicule and, paradoxically, gave it soaring beauty: “Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, / or thorns compose so rich a crown?” In this we thrill yet are mindful of the final line of the hymn: “Love so amazing, so divine, / demands my soul, my life, my all.”

Over thirty years ago an AA archivist gave me a book that changed my life. It's one of the best descriptions of the Oxford Group program out of which AA would later blossom and grow. Published in 1933 and titled WHAT IS THE OXFORD GROUP? the anonymous author lays out many of the principles and practices that Bill Wilson drew from in writing the Big Book. If you're ready for a life-changing shift to your program, this series may be for you. The book is available free through a link in the show notes. This episode explores RESTITUTION as it was understood and practiced by the AA pioneers. Making amends for our past wrongs affects others as much as ourselves and requires guidance and courage in knowing how best to proceed.

God, today my finitude is rubbed on my forehead. The reality of my limits, my fragile body, spoken over me like a curse:  From dust I was made, to dust I will return. Some days I need to be reminded that I am not the perfectibility project I set out to be I am full of bounce and brimming with hope. All woes, solvable. All problems, a distant whisper. When I don't feel like dust, bless me O God, in the ways I trick myself into believing that my life is something I've made, that all my accomplishments and successes and mastered mornings add up to something independent of you. But on days like today, when my head hangs low, sunk with the grief of my neediness, bless me o God.  When my joints don't work like they should, when I grow sick or turn gray too soon, when my body betrays me… or perhaps it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. Tell me again exactly how you made me: from dust to dust. Blessed are we, a mess of contradictions, in our delusions and deep hopes, in our fragility and finitude. Sim Shalom

When I survey... not the Wondrous Cross, but the world as it's currently going, it's hard not to despair. So many things seem and feel wrong -- are wrong. Providentially (as I see it), I've been directed back to Rod Serling. He was so focussed on justice, and especially social justice; and also on fate and impassable destiny. But he also believed in One Big Miracle. Rod Serling believed in the Miracle of Christmas! This comes out in teleplay after teleplay, from the early 1950s to the mid-1970s. Serling honestly believed that One Miracle could change the fallen world. Go back and watch the 1971 'Night Gallery' episode entitled "The Messiah on Mott Street". It's easy to find online (https://archive.org/details/the-messiah-on-mott-street), and is also free of charge. The episode not only enacts a first-class human miracle, but it is also a high point of Jewish-Christian reconciliation in a network TV show. In short, "The Messiah on Mott Street" is a wonder. It will give you fresh hope. And not just hope in 'meta'-terms. But hope for that particular personal insolubility with which you are currently dealing. Oddly, Rod Serling has given me new hope today as I look out on the world. Oh, and read Ross Douthat's terrific recent column in the New York Times entitled, "Where Does Religion Come From?" (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/15/opinion/religion-christianity-belief.html). It has a Rod Serling quality to it. And a Simeon Zahl quality, too! LUV U.
