The Christian is a man who says, I do not care what has happened; I do not care what may happen. I do not care what it is - atomic bombs, or anything you like. For me, nothing can ever approach in significance to the thing that happened there on the cross when Jesus of Nazareth died and was buried in the grave and rose again, and went back to the glory everlasting.
- p. 64, The Cross, Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Hope nobody's misunderstanding here. A Christian is not a man who is indifferent to anything and everything. He would know what is happening in the world, and he would be concerned about its well-being. However, if he is indeed a Christian, he is a man who is totally captivated by the cross, because it is the most significant, great, wonderful thing that has ever happened. And there will be nothing that can even come close to its glory ever!
...God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ... (Gal 6:14, part)
