认识基督与十字架

¶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!
