The Cross

“He bearing His cross went forth” (John 19:17).

“Who for the joy that was set before Himenduredthe cross” (Hebrews 12:2).

“He…became obedient untodeath, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:8).

“Having made peace through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:20).

“Thepreaching of the cross…is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18).

I love the cross of Jesus,

For there my Saviour died;

For there His blood, so precious,

Flowed from His spear-pierced side.

The cross is all my glory,

In nothing else I boast;

It made me fit for heaven,

With all the ransomed host.

“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).
