Behind Calvary is the Throne of Heaven

“Behind Calvary is the throne of heaven. And if we have seen God acting at the Cross with power and great glory, if to that conquering grace we have yielded up our souls in absolute, irrevocable commitment, then every suffering is transmuted, every despair is pierced through with hope; and bright against the dark background of the menace of the mystery of evil, we see the glory of the Kingdom that is to be.”

- James. S. Stewart, A Faith to Proclaim (Vancouver, BC; Regent College Publishing, 2002), 102
