No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.
— William Penn
Every victory entails a great amount of sacrifice. Before you even taste the sweetness of triumph, you need to taste first the bitterness of the process. And, that’s how you become Christ-like.
“Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him” (Luke 4:8). “Jesus knows what that means. It means lowliness, abuse, persecution. It means remaining misunderstood. It means hate, death, the cross. And he chooses this way from the beginning. It is the way of obedience and the way of freedom, for it is the way of God. And therefore it is also the way of love for human beings.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer (God Is on the Cross: Reflections on Lent and Easter)

Dear Friends, ‘It wasn’t the nails that held Jesus to the Cross – it was love’.
— Rev. David Williams
This is the purest kind of love that has ever existed in this world.
May we find it in our hearts to love the way Christ loves — to die for the sinners and the wretched.
