Golgotha Quotes

• Love, not anger, brought Jesus to the cross. Golgotha came as a result of God's great desire to forgive, not his reluctance. Jesus knew that by his vicarious suffering he could actually absorb all the evil of humanity and so heal it, forgive it, redeem it.

  Richard J. Foster

• Toda la vida de Cristo fue una continua Pasión; otros mueren mártires, pero Cristo nació mártir. Encontró un Gólgota incluso en Belén, donde nació; porque para su ternura entonces las pajas eran casi tan afiladas como las espinas después, y el pesebre tan intranquilo al principio como su cruz al final. Su nacimiento y su muerte no fueron sino un acto continuo, y su Navidad y su Viernes Santo no son sino la tarde y la mañana de un mismo día. Y así como su nacimiento es su muerte, toda acción y todo pasaje que nos manifiesta a Cristo es su nacimiento, pues Epifanía es manifestación.

  John Donne

  Viernes, Mañana, Pasión

• To me the Universe was all void of Life, of Purpose, of Volition, even of Hostility; it was one huge, dead, immeasurable Steam-engine, rolling on, in its dead indifference, to grind me limb from limb. Oh vast gloomy, solitary Golgotha, and Mill of Death! Why was the living banished thither companionless, conscious? Why, if there is no Devil; nay, unless the Devil is your God?

• Remember that each of us has his own cross. The Golgotha of this cross is our heart: it is being lifted or implanted through a zealous determination to live according to the Spirit of God. Just as salvation of the world is by the Cross of God, so our salvation is by our crucifixion on our own cross.

• La fe no es nuestro salvador. No fue la fe la que nació en Belén y murió en el Gólgota por nosotros. No fue la fe la que nos amó y se entregó por nosotros; la que llevó nuestros pecados en su propio cuerpo sobre el madero; la que murió y resucitó por nuestros pecados. Una cosa es la fe y otra el Salvador. Una cosa es la fe y otra la cruz. No las confundamos, ni atribuyamos a un acto pobre e imperfecto del hombre lo que pertenece exclusivamente al Hijo del Dios vivo.

• La obediencia nos hace progresivamente más fuertes, capaces de soportar fielmente pruebas y tribulaciones en el futuro. La obediencia en Getsemaní preparó al Salvador para obedecer y resistir hasta el final en el Gólgota.

• I've come to believe that God, in His wisdom, allows martyrdom in every generation in part because, without them, the reality of Christ's death for us becomes increasingly blurry... As we look at [the martyrs], the mist that sometimes enshrouds first-century Golgotha is burned away, and we see...the Lord nailed to the cross.

• Thinking is the subtlest form of self-polemics, the art of a certain finesse in psychological self-vivisection and self-crucifixion (Hegel of course called the path of self-disillusion the via dolorosa or "highway of despair," in Baillie's fine and florid rendering, like Jesus' route to Golgotha).

• As we have a high old time this Christmas may we who know Christ hear the cry of the damned as they hurtle headlong into the Christless night without ever a chance. May we be moved with compassion as our Lord was. May we shed tears of repentance for these we have failed to bring out of darkness. Beyond the smiling scenes of Bethlehem may we see the crushing agony of Golgotha

• It also occurred to him that throughout history, humankind has told two stories: the story of a lost ship sailing the Mediterranean seas in quest of a beloved isle, and the story of a god who allows himself to be crucified on Golgotha.
