An extract from [[Bruce Barton|Bruce Barton's]] book [[The Man Nobody Knows]]
: On a barren hill beyond the city walls they nailed His body to the cross. Two robbers were crucified with Him. It was over. The rabble sickened quickly of its revenge and scattered; His friends were hiding; the soldiers were busy casting lots for His garments. There was nothing left of those external influences which fire men's imaginations. Surely the victory of His enemies was complete. And yet - the lasting victory was His. "The man who loses his life," Jesus said, "shall find it."

:... in the cross of Christ, as in a magnificent theater, the inestimable goodness of God is displayed before the whole world.
