Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
John StottEvery time we look at the cross Christ seems to say to us, 'I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying.' Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross.
