The glory of the Christian faith is that the Christ who died for our sins rose again for our justification. We should joyfully remember His birth and grateful muse on His dying, but the crown of all our hope is with Him at the Fathers right hand. Paul gloried in the cross and refused to preach anything except Christ and Him crucified, but to him the cross stood for the whole redemptive work of Christ. In his epistles Paul writes of the Incarnation and the Crucifixion, yet he stops not at the manger or the cross but constantly sweeps our thoughts on to the Resurrection and upward to the ascension and the throne. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me (Matthew 28:18), said our risen Lord before He went up on high, and the first Christians believed Him and went forth to share His triumph. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all (Acts 4:33). - The Radical Cross by A. W.
