Insistence on security is incompatible with the way of the cross...

Le Jour ni l’Heure 4799 : Eugène Delacroix, 1798-1863, Crucifixion, 1835, dét., musée de la Cohue, Vannes, Morbihan, mardi 28 octobre 2014, 14:59:50
Insistence on security is incompatible with the way of the cross. What daring adventures the incarnation and the atonement were! What a breach of convention and decorum that Almighty God should renounce his privileges in order to take human flesh and bear human sin! Jesus had no security except in his Father. So to follow Jesus is always to accept at least a measure of uncertainty, danger and rejection for his sake. ...John R.W. Stott image
