Slide13“Engineering has done much to tunnel mountains, and bridge abysses; but the greatest triumph of engineering is that which made a way from sin to holiness, from death to life, from condemnation to perfection.

None but the Lord of love would have wished it; none but the God of wisdom could have devised it; none but the God of power could have carried it out.”

Spurgeon
