IF THE CROSS IS RIGHT AT THE CENTER, in full measure, and note that it is a large altar, THEN EVERYTHING ELSE WILL COME INTO ITS RIGHT PLACE, AND INTO A LIVING RELATIONSHIP.

*　　　*
The Way for God to commit Himself

1. His Cross fulfilled all righteousness, and we (the Church) are by faith in Jesus Christ, seated togethrer with Him in the heavenlies. It makes way for glory in the Church.

2. When the glorifying of the Lord Jesus is our only object, then the Father will come in by the Spirit.

3. Where all the authority committed to His Son is recognized and accepted.

4. Where things take their measure from Christ.

5. Where the Cross governs. When the meaning of the Cross has been laid down and established.
