The Cross of Christ is to be a reality to me not only once…

“The Cross of Christ is to be a reality to me not only once for all at my conversion, but all through my life as a Christian. True spirituality does not stop at the negative (death), but without the negative - in comprehension and in practice - we are not ready to go on.” quote by Francis A. Schaeffer
