Quotable: Stand By the Cross

There was a great devotional entry at the Cruciform Life blog yesterday:

“Once more heed the exhortation- stand close to the cross of Jesus!

It is the most accessible and precious spot this side of heaven- the most solemn and awesome one this side of eternity.

It is the focus of divine love, sympathy, and power.

Stand by it in suffering, in persecution, in temptation.

Stand by it in the brightness of prosperity and in the gloom of adversity.

Shrink not from its offence, humiliation, and woe.

Defend it when scorned, despised, and denied.

[– Octavius Winslow, The Foot of the Cross]
