Extract: Glory in the Cross

 
The world is a hindrance to many; it has so much power over the heart, that the separating effect of the cross is but little understood. For the Apostle it was a simple matter.
"God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." Gal. 6:1414But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (Galatians 6:14).
