The Centrality and Universality of the Cross (1927)

Let us recognise once and for all that the Cross is not a specific line of teaching, not a department of teaching, not an isolated message in an unbalanced emphasis, but the all-comprehending and all-including and all-explaining centre of the universe. That is the Centrality of the Cross, and you must put it so. It is the hub of the wheel. To it and from it all the spokes move through clearly defined circles of divine instrumentality and activity into the farthest bound of the universe, in the super-heavenlies, the heavenlies "far above all:" there the Cross is still. You never get outside the range of the Cross.
