The Cross of Christ

"Christian writers down through the centuries have sung the praises of the Cross of Christ...

 

Paul the Apostle exclaimed, "But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ". Galatians 6:14

 

Rupert of Deutz (1075–1129), a Benedictine theologian and abbot, wrote:

"The cross of Christ is the door to heaven, the key to paradise, the downfall of the devil, the uplifting of mankind, the consolation of our imprisonment, the prize for our freedom."

 

“The Cross of Christ is the safeguard of our faith, the assurance of our hope, and the throne of love. It is also the sign of God's mercy and the proof of forgiveness. By his cross Jesus Christ has pardoned us and set us free from the tyranny of sin. He paid the price for us when he made atonement for our sins. The way to peace, joy, and righteousness in the kingdom of God and the way to victory over sin and corruption, fear and defeat, despair and death is through the cross of Jesus Christ.

 

“Do you follow the Lord Jesus in His way of the cross with joy, hope, and confidence?"

 

#prayer and excerpt #meditation from today’s scripture reflection @ www.DailyScripture.Net or APP at Daily Scripture Servants of the Word

 

"We give glory to you, Lord, who raised up your cross to span the jaws of death like a bridge by which souls might pass from the region of the dead to the land of the living.

 

“Come then, my brothers and sisters, let us offer our Lord the great and all-embracing sacrifice of our love, pouring out our treasury of hymns and prayers before Him who offered His cross in sacrifice to God for the enrichment of us all."

 

"The Cross of Christ gives life to the human race" From a sermon by Ephraem the Syriac deacon, c. 306-373
