Untitled Sermon (7)

The cross of Christ runs through the whole of Scripture.

Martin Luther (Founder of the German Reformation)

Our salvation consists in the doctrine of the cross.

John Calvin (French Reformer)

The cross of Christ is the most revolutionary thing ever to appear among men.

A. W. Tozer

You do not understand Christ until you understand his cross.

Peter Taylor Forsyth (Congregational Minister)

The cross alone is our theology.

Martin Luther (Founder of the German Reformation); Gerhard O. Forde

The cross is the centre of the world’s history. The incarnation of Christ and the crucifixion of our Lord are the pivot round which all the events of the ages revolve.

Alexander Maclaren (Preacher and Expositor)

The cross was not a tragic failure; it was a triumphant rescue.

Vaughan Roberts

The saving power of the cross does not depend on faith being added to it; its saving power is such that faith flows from it.

J. I. Packer

Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress; Helpless, look to thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die.

Augustus Montague Toplady (Author and Hymn Writer)
