“There is no other object of knowledge in the universe that exposes
proud, man-exalting thinking like the cross does. Only humble,
Christ-exalting thinking can survive in the presence of the cross. The
effect of the cross on our thinking is not to cut off thinking about
God, but to confound boasting in the presence of God. The cross does not
nullify thinking; it purifies thinking.”
