John 12:31-33 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.… Take Unitarianism, for instance, Christianity with the Cross left out, the Gospel with the Atonement struck off. What is the result? It does not "draw." One of the leaders of English Unitarianism declared publicly in Birmingham the other day that Unitarianism failed to "draw." The English public will not attend their chapels. That is just what Christ fore. saw. He knew that nought save His Cross would serve to draw men. "And I, if I be lifted up, will draw." It is not His character, though spotlessly white, not His teaching, though sublimely pure, not His person, though mysteriously Divine, but His Cross that is the centre of the world's attraction. The popularity as well as the efficacy of Christianity is mainly dependent on the Cross. (J. C. Jones, D. D.)
