Centrality of the Cross by Jessie Penn-Lewis
The cross of Christ is the fixed point in history past and future.
We were reconciled by the death of the Son; much more we are saved by the
sharing of His life.
The blood of Christ on the cross is God-ward…the body of Christ on the
cross is man-ward.
The believer is delivered from the power of sin not by conquering it, but
by dying to it [2000 years ago].
We were baptized into fellowship with Christ Jesus. This is intimate,
rather than technical.
It is not the cross that makes us miserable, but the absence of it.
The Holy Spirit not only convicts a person of the sin of not believing
God and convinces him that Christ is now his righteousness, but the Holy
Spirit convinces him of the defeat of Satan at Calvary.
Christians who know these aspects of the Cross stand on the solid
foundation of the finished work of Christ.
Even though subjectively a Christian may not experience the fullness of
the reality of the Cross, he or she relies upon all of its completeness as
theirs. Their faith is in what Christ has done, not their experience of
it.
