“In Christ we see the strength of achievement, and the strength of endurance. He moved with a calm majesty, like the sun. The bloody sweat, and the crown of thorns, and the cross, were full in His eyes; but He was obedient unto death. In His perfect self-sacrifice we see the perfection of strength; in the love that prompted it we see the perfection of beauty. This combination of self-sacrifice and love must be commenced in every Christian; and when it shall be in its spirit complete in him, then will he also be perfect in strength and beauty.” SelfEyeChristianSpiritChristPerfectSunSacrificeAchievementCrossesPerfectionAnd LoveMovedCalmCombinationHis EyesEnduranceSweatCrownsBloodyMajestyThornsObedientSelf SacrificeCrown Of ThornsStrength And BeautyLove And Sacrifice Author:Mark Hopkins

“What self-righteous persons take to themselves, is the same work that Christ was engaged in when He was in His agony and bloody sweat, and when He died on the cross, which was the greatest thing that ever the eyes of angels beheld. Christ could accomplish other parts of this work without cost; but this part cost Him His life, as well as innumerable pains and labors. Yet this is the part which self-righteous persons go about to accomplish for themselves.” WellsPersonsSelfEyePainChristCostAngelLaborCrossesDiedAccomplishEngagedSweatRighteousAgonyBloodySelf Righteous Book:A History of the Work of Redemption: Comprising an Outline of Church History Source: A History of the Work of Redemption: Comprising an Outline of Church History
