The Cross! it takes our guilt away, It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens every bitter cup. — SELECTED The cross is the center of the world’s history ; the incarnation of Christ and the crucifixion of our Lord are the pivot round which all the events of the ages revolve.
The point
Poem and paraphrase on the Cross as redemptive center—it removes guilt and is the pivot of all history.
