Through the cross we learn that the heavenly Father loves us with a love that is infinite. Can we wonder that Paul exclaimed, "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ"? Galatians 6:14. It is our privilege also to glory in the cross, our privilege to give ourselves wholly to Him who gave Himself for us. Then, with the light that streams from Calvary shining in our faces, we may go forth to reveal this light to those in darkness.

Ved korset lærer vi, at den himmelske Fader elsker os med en kærlighed, som varer evigt. Kan man undre sig over, at Paulus udbrød: "Det være langt fra mig at rose mig af noget andet end vor Herres Jesu Kristi kors?" Vi har også den forrettighed at rose os af korset, den forrettighed helt at give os selv til ham, som gav sig selv for os. Så kan vi, med ansigter, der stråler af det lys, der udstrømmer fra Golgata, gå ud for at åbenbare dette lys for dem, som er i mørket.
