The Cross

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Tacoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. · Dec 6, 1906

IN our days there are many who would leave the cross out of Christianity. They want an unsuffering Christ, a teacher, an example, a friend, yet not an atoning Saviour. But the cross is at the heart of the gospel. We can be saved only by the One who suffered for us. Without shedding of blood there is no remission. Then in our lives, too, we must accept the law of the cross. We must die if we wish to live. We must lose if we would gain. We must suffer if we would reign. We can help others only through self-denial and cost.—Selected.
