“Even on the cross He did not hide Himself from sight; rather, He made all creation witness to the presence of its Maker.”
― St. Athanasius, On the Incarnation

“The Lord of Hosts has ordained the doctrine of grace to stain the pride of all earthly glory and cause all worldly excellence to become distasteful.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Life in Christ: Lessons from Our Lord's Miracles and Parables, Volume 1

“He, the Life of all, our Lord and Saviour, did not arrange the manner of his own death lest He should seem to be afraid of some other kind. No. He accepted and bore upon the cross a death inflicted by others, and those other His special enemies, a death which to them was supremely terrible and by no means to be faced; and He did this in order that, by destroying even this death, He might Himself be believed to be the Life, and the power of death be recognised as finally annulled. A marvellous and mighty paradox has thus occurred, for the death which they thought to inflict on Him as dishonour and disgrace has become the glorious monument to death's defeat.”
― St. Athanasius, On the Incarnation

“The church of Rome hates Calvinism because it can’t stand the doctrine of grace where God can save whomever he desires or the doctrine of salvation separate from the hands of priests and our own worthiness.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Life in Christ: Lessons from Our Lord's Miracles and Parables, Volume 1
