“The only thing of transcendent importance to human beings is the knowledge of God.”  D. A. Carson in The Cross and Christian Ministry, p. 32

The cross is offensive by nature!  And we can only grasp its sweetness if we first grapple with its offense.  If someone understands the cross, it is either the greatest thing in their life, or it is repugnant to them.  If it is neither of those two things, they haven’t understood it.  Tim Keller in Galatians for You, 180-181

“Only one life, yes only one, now let me say,”Thy will be done”;
And when at last I’ll hear the call, I know I’ll say “twas worth it all”;
Only one life,’twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.”
C.T. Studd
