As editor of the “A Witness and A Testimony” magazine published in England from 1925 to 1971, T. Austin-Sparks wrote individual articles as well as series of messages later published as books. This book contains a compilation of his articles from the Austin-Sparks.Net website on the topic: the Cross.
"This is not popular truth, but the Cross is the gateway to fullness, and the deeper the Cross the greater the measure of Divine life, power and light. This is the only way for things to be as they should be, and as God wishes them to be. Life, food, light, fellowship, and much more depend upon the degree in which the Cross is a reality in the individual and in the company. The Person of Christ and the Cross of Christ have been the two grounds of the most bitter controversy in the history of Christianity. Of course, they are really one thing. It is the Person Who gives the Cross its real meaning, and it is the Cross that vindicates the Person, provided that by the Cross is meant the death, burial, and resurrection. There is such a depth, power, fullness, in the Cross of Christ as to spread over all time and all eternity."
