认识基督与十字架Knowing Christ and Him Crucified

没有一种教义,就其本身说,比耶稣基督并祂钉十字架的教义更卓越;也没有一种教义,比它更必须被传讲、被研读!

认识耶稣基督,是全部圣经的精髓与核仁,是一切神圣启示的旨归和中心!新旧两约都在基督里相会。

认识基督,既深且广。其他一切学问不过是影子;这却是无边无底的海洋!虽然关于基督的事不断被揭开,然而就是永恒本身,也不能把祂完全揭明。

哦,那么,就把你自己、你的时间、你的力量,都献上,完全投身于这最甘美、超越万有的研读吧!

There is no doctrine more excellent in itself, or more necessary to be preached and studied-than the doctrine of Jesus Christ, and Him crucified!

The knowledge of Jesus Christ is the very marrow and kernel of all the Scriptures-the scope and center of all divine revelation! Both Testaments meet in Christ.

The knowledge of Christ is profound and large. All other sciences are but shadows-this is a boundless, bottomless ocean! Though something of Christ is unfolded continually, yet eternity itself cannot fully unfold Him.

O then devote and wholly give yourself, your time, your strength-to this most sweet transcendent study!
