“And if the Lord your God wishes to judge you, say, “Lord, between Your judgment and me I present the death of our Lord Jesus Christ; in no other way can I contend with You.” And if He shall say that you are a sinner; you say, “Lord, I interpose the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between my sins and You.” If He says that you have deserved condemnation; say, “Lord, I set the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between my evil deserts and You; and His merits I offer for those which I ought to have, but have not.” If He says that He is angry with you; say, “Lord I set the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between Your wrath and me.” And when you hast completed this, say again, “Lord, I set the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between You and me.”” (Anselm of Canterbury, “Exhortation to a Dying Man”)

Well, not only is it the first Friday of the month (wherein I drop by with free resources), but it’s actually Good Friday as well. So we’ll throw a few Easter-themed links into the mix, at no extra charge.

• Richard Wurmbrand’s Tortured for Christ is the free audio book of the month from christianaudio.com. I’ve read the book, and it’s quite the amazing story.
• Brevard S. Childs’ The Old Testament Library Series: Isaiah is the free resource of the month from Logos.
• Also, Ligonier ministries is offering a free audiobook version of RC Sproul’s The Truth of the Cross.
• The April edition of Tabletalk is out, and the topic for this month is “Shame.” If you haven’t checked out Tabletalk yet, you really should. To make it easier, you can start with either Ligonier’s archive, or the archive here on the Beacon.
• There have been a couple new issues of the 9Marks eJournal since we last mentioned it. That’s another stellar resources to check out, and again, you can start with either the 9Marks archive, or the archive here on the Beacon.

Alright, well that does it for the typical monthly resources. Now, as promised, let’s end this with some Good Friday / Easter resources:

• Triablogue has their annual post of Easter resources up.
• It’s also worth mentioning that in past years, we’ve done some Easter resource posts of our own. Here are the posts from 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Enjoy!
