Meaning Of The Cross
Learn to
know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him, and say, "Lord Jesus, you
are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon yourself what is mine
and given me what is yours. You have become what you were not so that I might
become what I was not." - Martin Luther
The blood of Jesus Christ has great power! There is perhaps not a phrase in the
Bible that is so full of secret truth as is "The blood of Jesus." It is the
secret of His incarnation, when Jesus took on flesh and blood; the secret of His
obedience unto death, when He gave His life at the cross of Calvary; the secret
of His love that went beyond all understanding when He bought us with His blood;
the secret of the enemy and the secret of our eternal salvation. - Corrie Ten
Boom
We must know the power of the Blood if we are to know the power of God. Our
knowing experimentally the power of the Word, the power of the Holy Spirit, and
the power of prayer is dependant upon our knowing the power of the Blood of
Christ. - R. A. Torrey
When Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross, it was not the blood of a martyr;
or the blood of one man for another; it was the life of God poured out to redeem
the world. - Oswald Chambers
Anybody who has once been horrified by the dreadfulness of his own sin that
nailed Jesus to the Cross will no longer be horrified by even the rankest sins
of a brother. Looking at the Cross of Jesus, he knows the human heart. He knows
how utterly lost it is in sin and weakness, how it goes astray in the ways of
sin, and he also knows that it is accepted in grace and mercy. Only the brother
under the Cross can hear a confession. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We are not bearing our crosses every time we have a headache; an aspirin tablet
will take care of that. What is meant is the trouble we would not have if we
were not Christians. - Vance Havner |
