“The cross of Christ is the foundation of foundations” by Herman Witsius

“The Cross of Christ is the foundation of foundations, and the pillar of sacred wisdom; without which it is impossible to understand the mysteries of our religion, to attain genuine holiness, or to inherit eternal life.”

–Herman Witsius, Sacred Dissertations on the Apostles’ Creed, Vol. 2 (Grand Rapids, MI: Reformation Heritage, 1681/2010), 2: 62.
