Ah, what glory there is in the cross! All the glory of heaven is in that
despised thing. Not in the figure of the cross, but in the cross itself.
The world does not reckon it glory, but then it did not know the Son of
God, and it does not know the Holy Spirit, because it can not see Him.
May God open our eyes to see the glory, so that we may reckon things at
their true value. May we consent to be crucified with Christ, that the
cross may glorify us. In the cross of Christ there is salvation. In it
is the power of God to keep us from falling, for it lifts us up from
earth to heaven. In the cross there is the new creation, which God
Himself pronounces “very good.” In it is all the glory of the Father,
and all the glory of the eternal ages. Therefore God forbid that we
should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the
world is crucified to us, and we unto the world.
“In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o’er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.”
Therefore—
“Since I, who was undone and lost,
Have pardon through His name and Word;
Forbid it, then, that I should boast,
Save in the cross of Christ, my Lord.”
“Where’er I go, I’ll tell the story
Of the cross, of the cross;
In nothing else my soul shall glory,
Save the cross, save the cross;
And this my constant theme shall be,
Through time and in eternity,
That Jesus tasted death for me,
On the cross, on the cross.”
