"His Cross and Mine"
by
Meade MacGuire
"If those who today are teaching the word of God, would uplift the cross of Christ higher and still higher, their ministry would be far more successful. If sinners can be led to give one earnest look at the cross, if they can obtain a full view of the crucified Saviour, they will realize the depth of God's compassion and the sinfulness of sin.
'Christ's death proves God great love for man. It is our pledge of salvation. To remove the cross from the Christian would be like blotting the sun from the sky. The cross bring us near to God, reconciling us to Him. With the relenting compassion of a Father's love, Jehovah looks upon the suffering that His Son endured in order to save the race from eternal death, and accepts us in the Beloved.
'Without the cross, man could have no union with the Father. On it depends our every hope. From it shines the light of the Saviour's love; and when at the foot of the cross the sinner looks up to the One who died to save him, he may rejoice with fullness of joy; for his sins are pardoned. Kneeling in faith at the cross, he has reached the highest place to which man can attain.' "
(including a quote from Acts of the Apostles as well - last half )
