Surveying the Cross of Jesus

'"But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.' When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride." ~ Isaac Watts

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in wich you stand, and by which you are being believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. - I Corinthians 15:1-4
