The Supreme Fact

[Page 13]

     Speculate on it how we may, the death of the Lord Jesus Christ is presented to us in the New Testament as the everlasting reason of every happy relation between sinful man and the moral government of God. The conscience bows before the cross and is at peace, even when the intellect is baffled and defeated in the attempt to construct a theory of atonement. "When we were yet sinners, Christ died for us," is the answer to the deepest and most agonizing distress of the heart; and the theology which ignores or evades this truth can claim neither to be in harmony with the faith of the apostles nor to interpret the grandest and most awful facts of the spiritual universe. --R. W. Dale on "The Atonement."

     A religion that did not transcend the reach of our unaided reason and demand our faith would be without value to us. But a religion that contradicted reason would be simply incredible. They are no true friends of the Gospel who divorce faith from the intellect....We must also beware of confounding mystery with confused and incoherent thinking. Many a man has won a credit for depth when his thought was merely muddy. --A. S. Peake in Christianity: Its Nature and Truth.
