About this ebook
Giving thanks unto the Father, . . . Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. (Colossians 1:12-13)
Awake! Awake! slumbering church, and clothe yourself with the garments of your Lord’s salvation and righteousness. He waits to be gracious to you. Return unto your first love before the candlestick is removed. Purge the “leaven” of wickedness and dishonesty from your midst. Spurn the “honey” of the world, and let us cleanse our garments from the stains of seeking pleasure, commercialism, and worldliness. Let us refrain from the entertainment, moneymaking craze that is now resting upon us. Let us deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Christ.

Chapter 1
The Wisdom of God in the Cross
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those that perish, but unto us who are saved, it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. – 1 Corinthians 1:18-19
God works with men who, like Pharaoh, say, Who is the Lord?
They don’t see Him, although –
There’s not a wave of the dark blue sea
As it rolls along in its majesty,
Nor a leaf, nor a flower, nor a single sod,
But it bears the mark of the finger of God.
But man who was originally created in the image of God has fallen from his high estate through sin. He is now a partaker of a fallen nature, and with darkened understanding, his life is alienated from the life which is in God.
Each one did that which seemed right in his own eyes. (Judges 21:25)
There is no one righteous, no, not one. (Romans 3:10)
There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12)
In rebellion against God, men built the Tower of Babel to make a name for themselves and built it tall so that it would reach unto heaven. The cry still goes up, Is this not the great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the glory of my greatness? (Daniel 4:30). This pride denies the ruin of man and the need for atonement and redemption. It must be humbled to the dust so men can receive God’s revelation and His grace.
God therefore chose a way of salvation that was weak, humble, despised, and even depraved to the world, so that He might show His wisdom and power, and no flesh could glory in His presence. It was at the cross, the place of criminals and dying, with no eye for pity, no one to comfort, no one to understand or undertake for the Son of God in the hour of darkness, that He trod the great winepress of the wrath of God alone, while enemies taunted and friends deserted Him. Here He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:8).
The Son of God has spanned the chasm
From God to man, from man to heaven.
The ladder we had built to rise
From lowly earth to vaulted skies,
Was long since broken at our feet.
But His, stands fast, through shade and sheen,
Blind rage of men and hate of fiends.
The price He paid, His precious blood
On Calvary’s tree; while nature shook,
The sun in grief his face did veil,
The sky put on her robe of black,
The rocks were riven at His feet.
In all the marvelous wisdom of God, the harlot living in the vilest den of sin, whose rooms are the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death (Proverbs 7:27), is redeemed and led back to a life of purity and blessing through simple childlike faith in Jesus Christ. See the gambler, the drunkard, or the thief who are redeemed and made partakers of a new, divine life by the grace and power of God, go out to live an honest, temperate life. Look at the home of that man after he is saved, who once was in the depths of sin. Hear the testimony of that woman who once was a slave to drink, as she tells of the redeeming grace and keeping power of God in her life. Go to that rescue mission whose leader once staggered in and out of every den of iniquity, whose money, position, good name, honor, and willpower were all lost. He was helpless, hopeless, and undone – a poor captive of Satan. He trembled on the brink of damnation, but he cried unto God for mercy and pardon in the name of Jesus who saved him out of all his distresses. Isn’t this wisdom? Science may not solve this or reason discover it, but the needs of men lead them to cry unto God, and they prove His blessed reality. This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. (Psalm 34:6)
In the heart of man a cry;
In the heart of God supply.

A Philadelphia pastor once said:
One afternoon in the city of Philadelphia, preaching to a company of men in the Christian Association building, my attention was drawn to a poor man, a veritable tramp from the streets. His hair was matted, his eyes bloodshot, his clothing hung in rags, and he was vile in every way. Something in the sermon, he said, had touched his heart, and before our interview ended, he had confessed Christ. He had been a professor of mathematics in a German university, and had been slain by his appetite and his passion and had lost everything. He became a member of my church and lived and died a consistent Christian.
He sat one morning in the front row of a great company of men who met every Sunday morning, and I was telling them how when God forgives our sins, He forgets them and casts them as far as the East is from the West; and I said to him, Professor, this is a mathematical statement; can you tell us how far that is?
Instinctively he reached for his pencil and little notebook and acted as if he were about to make a calculation, when suddenly it dawned upon him. He put the pencil back and turned to the men to say, Men, you cannot measure it, for if you put your stick here with the East before you and the West behind you, you could go around the world and come back to your stick, and East would still be before you and West would still be behind you. The distance is immeasurable, and thank God,
said he in his broken English, this is where my sins have gone.
The wisdom of men was not sufficient to save this man from the drunkard’s cup or the drunkard’s hell, but the wisdom of God did both, when he received it as a babe.

Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (Luke 10:21)
It was the despised way. To the Jews, a stumblingblock, and to the Gentiles, foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:23). For the Son of God to leave His home in glory with legions of angels at His command, carry His own cross, and die upon it would make Him a mark of derision to the world. There is no outward appearance in him, nor beauty. We shall see him, yet nothing attractive about him that we should desire him (Isaiah 53:2). Yet this wisdom and love of God conquers the human heart and sends the disciple in the footsteps of His Lord. It sent the Chinese Christians to the stake to die as martyrs for their faith. It sent David Livingstone to lay
