Reflect on the Wonder of the Cross

"Every time we look at the cross Christ seems to be saying to us, "I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying." Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross. All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousness, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size." --John Stott

"How can anyone be arrogant when he stands beside the cross?"  --Carl Henry

"Thankfulness is a soil in which pride does not easily grow."  --Michael Ramsey
