Jesus spoke prophetically of the awful price and ultimate triumph of His death upon the Cross in the declaration, “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit’’ (John 12:24). The message of that Cross is the message of grace—free to all man­ kind, but costly to God. One theologian was bold to say that it was

“this infinite price to Him that made God, God.” No one but God could afford such grace for all mankind—and free!

The light of that Cross lifted up for all mankind shows us the darkness and depths of our sins in every generation. It is an easy conscience that blames His death upon the Jews of His day. “It was your sins and my sins that nailed Him to the Tree.” There He tasted death for every man, for no geographical, racial, or time limits were placed upon that provision. This Cross also makes demands of us all. It is not an easy for­ giveness, simply historical or ceremonial. It must become personal to be real. It demands a break with sin, a renunciation of the old life and its self-centered philosophy. Our closed fists of rebellion must be opened and become contrite if we would receive the gift of grace. The adequacy of that Cross is then known in personal experience. Now the message of the Church is the message of reconciliation: “Be ye reconciled to God.” God himself has provided the way.

8 (300) • HERALD OF HOLINESS that is six feet high and weighs 250 pounds. There are ways of taking a man’s measure other than from the standpoint of avoirdupois. The real test of a big man is not how he acts when all goes well, but how lie reacts when all goes wrong. Another test of a big man is one who speaks in praiseworthy terms of his competitors and rivals. Proverbs 27:21 says a man is tested by his praise. “Genuine praise is the mother tongue of a generous soul.’’ Show thyself a big man. Not many men are wholly hemisphered on both sides. The signature of defect is on most men. Most men have something that they wish they did not have. David had an Absalom to disgrace him; Paul had a thorn in the flesh to sting him; Job had a carbuncle to plague him; Samson had a Delilah to shear him; Wesley had a termagant wife to pester him; Byron had a clubfoot to impede him; Milton had blind eyes to afflict him; and Naarnan had leprosy to burden him.
