 You shall by faith sustain yourself and comfort yourself in your Lord, and be strong in His power; for you are in the beaten and common way to heaven, when you are under our Lord's crosses. You have reason to rejoice in it, more than in a crown of gold; and rejoice and be glad to bear the reproaches of Christ. Author: Samuel Rutherford |

| God makes crosses of great variety; He makes some of iron and lead, that look as if they must crush; some of straw, that seem so light, and yet are no less difficult to carry; some He makes of precious stones and gold, that dazzle the eye and excite the envy of spectators, but in reality are as well able to crucify as those which are so much dreaded. Author: James H. Aughey |
| There is no man that goeth to heaven but he must go by the cross. The cross is the standing way-mark which all they that go to glory must pass by. Author: James H. Aughey |

| Weak Christians are afraid of the shadow of the cross. Author: Thomas Brooks |
| Our old history ends with the cross; our new history begins with the resurrection. Author: Watchman Nee |
| The Blood deals with what we have done, whereas the Cross deals with what we are. The Blood disposes of our sins, while the Cross strikes at the root of our capacity for sin. Author: Watchman Nee |
