The Red Sea, The Cross and the Final Destruction of the Wicked

1 Cor 10:1-11 (11) Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 

The mystery of the cross explains all other mysteries. In the light that streams from Calvary the attributes of God which had filled us with fear and awe appear beautiful and attractive. Mercy, tenderness, and parental love are seen to blend with holiness, justice, and power. While we behold the majesty of His throne, high and lifted up, we see His character in its gracious manifestations, and comprehend, as never before, the significance of that endearing title, "Our Father."  {GC 652.1}
