Christus die gekruisigde

Lukas 23:44-49

Met die opening van hulle nuwe kerkgebou het Charles Spurgeon gesê:

“...I would propose that the subject of the ministry of this house, as long as this platform shall stand, and as long as this house shall be frequented by worshippers, shall be the person of Jesus Christ. I am never ashamed to avow myself a Calvinist... I do not hesitate to take the name of Baptist... but if I am asked to say what is my creed, I think I must reply: ‘It is Jesus Christ.’...the body of divinity [theology] to which I would pin and bind myself for ever, God helping me, is not his system of divinity or any other human treatise, but Christ Jesus, who is the sum and substance of the gospel; who is in himself all theology, the incarnation of every precious truth, the all-glorious personal embodiment of the way, the truth, and the life.”

Ek eien hierdie woorde vir myself en ons gemeente. Mag die gekruisigde Christus ons lewe en ons boodskap wees, totdat Hy weer kom. Daarna sal ons Hom vir ewig vir sy kruis dank: "Toe sing hulle 'n nuwe lied: 'U is waardig om die boekrol te neem, en die seëls daarvan oop te breek, omdat U geslag is, en met u bloed mense vir God gekoop het, uit elke geslag en taal en volk en nasie." (Op. 5:9). 'n Boodskap deur Ivor Jefferies.
