"Above all philosophy, all science, and all other learning of this world, Paul exalted the knowledge of Christ crucified as the one supreme and indispensable truth." 

2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 

1 Corinthians 2:2

"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 )

"The Song._ And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation." Rev. 5:9 

The theme of this song should stir the heart of every child of Adam. It is the theme which along can express the joy and gratitude of the redeemed; the theme which thrills the myriads of unfallen angels; the song which rejoices the heart of the Omnipotent One, the song of praise to the Lamb who poured out His life to atone for the sins of a perishing world."

Speaking of Revelation 1:17: 

"Then comes the description of His personal appearance in glory so overwhelming that the beloved disciple "fell at His feet as dead." How startling and how comforting are the next words! Jesus, the King of glory, stooped to lay His right hand upon John, and reminded him of the cross. "Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am He that liveth and was dead." It is as if He had said, Fear not John, though you hardly recognize Me clothed with divine glory and majesty, I am the same Jesus on whose bosom you reclined, the one who hung upon the cross, and who gave His life for sinners. Now I am alive forevermore, and have the keys of hell and of death."

 "As we study the word of God to obtain a fuller knowledge of the person of Jesus, the inspired writers are ever pointing us to the cross. Thus we come to understand that, "to be rightly understood and appreciated, every truth in the word of God, from Genesis to Revelation, must be studied in the light that streams from the cross of Calvary."

"One of the great secrets of the fascination of the Bible is that it is all written with the purpose of revealing to humanity a glorious person." 

"We are but finite creatures, and can never fully comprehend His greatness; but as we search His word reverently and prayerfully, the Holy Spirit reveals to us more and more of the inexhaustible riches of His grace, God is love. We have no true knowledge of God unless our supreme thought of Him is that He is a God of love." 

"God manifested His infinite love in the gift of His only begotten Son to a race of sinners. The supreme revelation of that divine love which withheld not its all, but freely gave Him for our ransom, is the cross."

This book has a copyright of 1927! 

I have been so blessed by this little book. When I say little I mean it only has 122 pages. But each page is filled with so much depth. 

"The only way I can truly acknowledge Jesus as my Saviour is by taking up my cross. Thus I acknowledge my own guilt and condemnation. Thus I show my faith in His atoning sacrifice. Thus I demonstrate my confidence in the efficiency of His death to purchase life for me. Thus I enter into a living union with Christ, which provides emancipation from the dominion of sin, and secures to me the righteousness of Christ."♡

I have been so blessed - I decided that I want to share a little bit of this book - the portions that really stand out to me each week. I am hoping that these posts will bless you as well. 

Today's post will be the very first sentence of the very first chapter:

"All the grace which Jesus the saving one gives, is given only in the path of fellowship with Jesus the crucified one."

I love how powerful just this one sentence is! Be sure and come back next week when I share another powerful quote from this awesome book!
