The cross has always been a window into the heart of God, the supreme means of awakening men to the overwhelming and humbling reality of God’s amazing love. And without it, faith could only have made its home in the shadows of half knowledge and dim guesses. In its light, the pattern of sin and holiness, of grossness and purity stand out in the clearest relief and we know both for what they are. That is why the Cross has always at one and the same time convinced men of sin and convinced them of the reality of forgiveness, has both diagnosed the disease and provided the remedy.
