Contemplation of the Cross

From Desiring God

The whole value of the meditation of the suffering of Christ lies in this, that man should come to the knowledge of himself and sink and tremble. If you are so hardened that you do not tremble, then you have reason to tremble. Pray to God that he may soften your heart and make fruitful your meditation upon the suffering of Christ, for we ourselves are incapable of proper reflection unless God instill it. - Martin Luther, Originally adapted from Martin Luther's Easter Book

To God Alone be the Glory
