And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Phil. 2:8
A friend observed two teenage girls looking at a shop display of necklaces. As they glanced at a collection of crosses one was heard to say in surprise, “Look there’s a man on that cross!” How thankful I am that there was a Man on that cross, but He’s not there anymore. Jesus Christ died for my sin, He was buried and He lives today! —J. Fleming
O Son of Man! Thy name by choice,
Our hope, our joy, our life,
Make us like Thee, whose gentle voice,
Was never heard in strife. —G. MacDonald
