The Glory of the Cross
et us declare
that Christ was crucified for our sake, proclaiming it with joy and pride,
not with fear and shame. Paul the Apostle saw in this reason for boasting.
He could have told us many great and holy things about Christ: how as God he shared with his Father the work of creation, and how as man like us he was master of the world. But Paul would not glory in any of these wonderful things.
-- Sermon 218C, 1
Prayer. Lord, in case I would falter, you gave me a remedy through your admonishments. You established the law of forgiveness, so that as I forgive I may be forgiven.
-- Commentary on Psalm 129, 3
