Cross-centered

A refreshing reminder for me today. I have twice read since I woke up about Christ and the cross, reminding me that He and the cross being the focal point of my life.

Jesus, bearing his cross, went forth to suffer without the gate… The crown of glory will follow the cross of separation. A moment’s shame will be well recompensed by eternal honour; a little while of witness-bearing will seem nothing when we are “forever with the Lord.” -Morning and Evening, C.H. Spurgeon

The Cross of Christ is the revealed truth of God’s judgement on sin. Never associate the idea of martyrdom with the Cross of Christ. It was supreme triumph,and it shook the very foundations of hell…The heart of salvation is the Cross of Christ. The reason salvation is so easy to obtain is that it cost God so much. The Cross was the place where God and sinful man merged with a tremendous collision and where the way to life was opened. But all the cost and pain of the collision was absorbed by the heart of God. -My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers

These were for me, and I hope for you, excellent words to wake to.
