Christian obedience, by its very nature, has a heroic character.

Without a doubt, at the center of the New Testament there stands the Cross, which receives its interpretation from the Resurrection.

Thus, the present sermons revolve around the same center--the inexhaustible mystery of the one indivisible faith.
