This glorious, astonishing object!',

"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!" Galatians 6:14 

The cross of Christ is the Christian's glory! It embraces the whole doctrine of salvation by grace, and is viewed by the Christian as . . .
the foundation of his hope,
the object of his faith; 
the end of the law;
the antidote of his misery;
the centre of truth;
the mirror, in which Jehovah displays His perfections; 
the key which opens the gates of the celestial paradise; 
the storehouse of eternal wisdom; 
the mystery of incarnate love; 
the destruction of death; 
the gate to everlasting life; 
the object of the angels wonder;
the cause of the devil's everlasting confusion.

Beloved, let us fix our eyes and hearts upon this glorious, astonishing object!
