The Cross: on Man's Part

•The rejection of Christ was a refusal, and the end of all remedial measures.
•It was the close, therefore, of the moral government of God, as established under the law.
•Man took the place of the betrayer and murderer of Christ.
•The cross was the outlet of human enmity against God.
•All relations with God were closed up by death. The cross showed proof of the world's rebellion.
•It was the new center on which the issue of all things must be tried in righteousness.
•God, of necessity, assumed the place of Judge at the cross.
