The Message of the Cross

John Miller in The Heart of a Servant Leader:

The message of the cross takes away the burden of guilt and sin, removes forever the divine wrath from us; then it takes away the heavy burden of our selfishness and self-preoccupation. (p.74)

I am so glad for the free and absolute forgiveness of sins by the Father because of His reconciling love revealed on a blood-stained cross. I need his righteousness to cover over my best deeds as well as my worst. (p.208)
