11. “Man's maker was made man that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother's breast; that the Bread might hunger, the Fountain thirst, the Light sleep, the Way be tired on its journey; that Truth might be accused of false witnesses, the Teacher be beaten with whips, the Foundation be suspended on wood; that Strength might grow weak; that the Healer might be wounded; that Life might die."  - Augustine

12. “Experience cannot be allowed to have the final word – it must be judged and shown as deceptive and misleading. The Cross draws our attention to the sheer unreliability of experience as a guide to the presence and activity of God. God is active and present in this world, quite independently of whether we experience him as being so. Experience declared that God was absent from Calvary, only to have its verdict humiliatingly overturned on the third day.” — Alister McGrath
