Simply To The Cross We Cling

The paradoxes of the ways of God are part of the mystery of our being, and though we may see kinship between Job, Jeremiah and the Suffering Servant in Second Isaiah, it is only in the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ that the afflictions of Job reach their proper evaluation. We have reached the heart of the message of Job when we can say: “Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy Cross I cling.”
