The Most Significant Event in History
The cross of Christ stands in Scripture as the pivot on which all history turns.

What Does It Mean that God Is Love?
God is loving, but a major part of what He loves is His own perfect character, with a major aspect being the importance of maintaining justice and righteousness. Though God pardons sinners and makes provision for expressing His mercy, He will never negotiate His justice. If we fail to understand that, the Cross of Christ will be utterly meaningless.
R. C. Sproul, The Truth of the Cross, p. 19
The Premium Paid by the Cross
When I see the cross, I see the premium that God places on the works that He has prepared for me.

A Thousand Times a Day
Dying to self is not a thing we do once for all. There may be an initial dying when God first shows these things, but ever after it will be a constant dying, for only so can the Lord Jesus be revealed constantly through us (1 Cor. 4.10). All day long the choice will be before us in a thousand ways. It will mean no plans, no time, no money, no pleasure of our own. It will mean a constant yielding to those around us, for our yieldedness to God is measured by our yieldedness to man. Every humiliation, everyone who tries and vexes us, is God’s way of breaking us, so that there is a yet deeper channel in us for the life of Christ.
