If He laid down His life for us, is it not the least we can do to lay down ours for Him? If He bore the cross and died on it for me, ought I not to be willing to take it up for Him?

The Cross
July 18, 2015
Observe, there cannot be a secret Christian. … If you truly feel the sweetness of the cross of Christ, you will be constrained to confess Christ before men.

Revival is not the discovery of some new truth. It’s the rediscovery of the grand old truth of God’s power in and through the Cross.

If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.

You need the blood of Jesus as much now as at first. You never can stand before God in yourself. You must go again and again to be washed. Even on your dying bed, you must hide under Jehovah, our righteousness. You must also lean on Jesus. He alone can overcome the sin in you. Draw nearer and nearer to Him every day.

Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness. So do not seek to hide from it. Do not accept an easy way. Do not allow yourself to be patted to sleep in a comfortable church, void of power and barren of fruit. Do not paint the cross nor deck it with flowers. Take it for what it is, as it is, and you will find it the rugged way to death and life. Let it slay you utterly.

That death was not on His own account. His humanity had no need to die. He might have lived on and have seen no death, if He had so willed. He had committed no offense, no sin, and, therefore, no punishment could fall upon Him. Every pang upon the cross was substitutionary; for you, the sons of men, the Prince of Glory bled, “the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God” (1 Peter 3:18).

The Word of God is a looking glass, to show us our spots; and the blood of Christ is a fountain to wash them away.
