The Shadow of the Cross is the fourth book in our Desire of Ages series, drawn from the timeless writings of E. G. White.
If Jesus really was the long-awaited Messiah, why did His life provoke such hatred? Why did religious leaders, political authorities, and unseen powers all converge with one purpose—to destroy Him?
Jesus healed bodies, restored minds, brought hope to the discouraged, and spoke life to the broken. The crowds loved Him. Children flocked to Him. Multitudes hung on His every word. Yet the very light of His character exposed the darkness around Him, and those threatened by His truth began plotting His death.
In this powerful, deeply reflective narrative, E. G. White uncovers the spiritual realities behind Christ’s miracles, parables, and final acts of ministry. These pages explore:
-
The real reason Christ’s teachings threatened the rulers of His day
-
The explosive conflict between divine love and human pride
-
How Christ’s miracles revealed the true character of God
-
Why the raising of Lazarus became the final trigger for His execution
-
The cosmic battle between Christ and the forces of evil that began long before Bethlehem
As you follow Jesus through His final public ministry—His parables, His cleansing of the temple, His raising of Lazarus, His teachings in Jerusalem, and the solemn moments leading to the Last Supper—you will come to know Him more intimately and see His mission with deeper clarity.
If you’ve ever wondered why a world filled with technological breakthroughs still aches with conflict and suffering, The Shadow of the Cross offers profound, modern insight into the struggle between good and evil—and the hope found only in Christ.
