The Glory of the Cross
PRAYER.

Praised be Jesus Christ Who has redeemed the world by His Life, Death, and Resurrection!

PERSONS in the Cross of Christ see the Atonement for sin cannot choose but glory in it. Its mysteriousness makes them glory in it the more. They boast of it before men and Angels, before an unbelieving world, and before fallen spirits.

They confess this miracle of grace and cherish it in their creed, though it gains them but contempt.
