Life is supplied with a basic adequacy.

Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus.

I have only to be true to the highest I know - success or failure is in the hand of God.

At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.

The action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.

Some have said that the power of a Redeemer would depend upon two things: first, upon the richness of the self that was given; and second, upon the depths of the giving. Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ.

If you don't surrender to God, don't think you don't surrender. Everybody surrenders -- to something.
