At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
John StottWhy is it that some Christians cross land and sea, continents and cultures, as missionaries? What on earth impels them? It is not in order to commend a civilization, an institution or an ideology, but rather a person, Jesus Christ, whom they believe to be unique.
