The Cross
Galatians 6:14
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me…


I. JUSTIFIES THE FACT OF THE INCARNATION TO THE REASON AND COMMENDS IT TO THE HEART.

II. CONTAINS THE HIGHEST AND FULLEST REVELATION GOD HAS MADE OF HIMSELF TO MAN.

III. IS THE ONLY FOUNTAIN WHENCE FLOWS A SUPPLY ADEQUATE FOR THE DEEPEST NEEDS OF HUMANITY.

IV. IS THE MIGHTIEST INSTRUMENT IN THE HANDS OF MAN FOR THE UPLIFTING OF HIS BROTHER.

(W. Jackson.)
