"It is of far reaching importance and vital consequence to recognize that the Person of our Lord cannot really be known and understood apart from the Cross. It is equally of consequence to realize that the Cross is only really understood and adequatly appreciated when the Person of Christ is discerned. These two work hand-in-hand and are mutually dependent."
