Phillips Brooks Quotes About Obedience
-
The essence of that by which Jesus overcame the world was not suffering, but obedience.

He was determined at every sacrifice to do His Father's will. Let us remember that; and the power of Christ's sacrifice may enter into us, and some little share of the redemption of the world may come through us, as the great work came through Him.
