"The essence of sin is we human beings substituting ourselves for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting Himself for us. We...put ourselves where only God deserves to be: God...puts Himself where only we deserve to be." Dr John Stott
"In the Cross is salvation; in the Cross is life; in the Cross is protection against our enemies; in the Cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the Cross is joy of spirit; in the Cross is excellence of virtue; in the Cross is perfection of holiness. There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, saving the Cross. Thomas a'Kempis
"It is to the Cross that the Christian is challenged to follow his Master. No path of redemption can make a detour around it." Hans Urs von Batlhasar
"The Cross of The Christ is, and represents many things; it is a bridge; it is shield; it is a sign, even a weapon of profound spiritual nature. However, it is also a plow - it is the tool of haven to break the sod of the hard, rebellious and recalcitrant heart. It prepares the heart for grace and truth to be sown, that salvation may germinate in that place." S. W. Varcoe
