Christ's Cross the Standard

Let our Lord in our ministry be "the chief among ten thousand." Let his cross be the standard to which all other truths shall rally. Oh, preach Christ, live Christ, catch the spirit of Christ, devote yourselves to Christ, drink of his cross, and be baptised with his baptism, and then it shall be that "all the nations shall remember and shall turn unto the Lord, and all the kindreds of the people shall worship before him." Sinner, thy hope is at the cross, hasten thither; anxious soul, thy peace is at the cross, fly thither; despairing soul, thy salvation is at the cross, look thither.

—C.H. Spurgeon
