The Attraction of the Cross

The story of the cross is related in the Holy Scriptures. They uniformly teach us to look upon Christ-s death in a light totally different from that of any other person. They never mention it without emphasis, nor without admiration. When the great Ruler of the world was pleased to accomplish his purposes of mercy toward sinful man, he saw fit to do it in a way that expressed the mysterious fullness of his own eternal nature. God is one in nature, and in three persons. A fundamental article of the Christian religion is, that one of these three Divine persons became incarnate. "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." "Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given-and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."
