Sin is almost the only thing we have in common with everyone else, and so at the feet of Jesus where sin is cleansed is the only place where we can be one. Real oneness conjures up for us the picture of two or more sinners together at Calvary.

Roy Hession

Roy Hession (1908–1992) war ein britischer evangelikaler Evangelist und Buchautor, der international auf Konferenzen und Missionsreisen wirkte. Stark geprägt von Impulsen der ostafrikanischen Erweckungsbewegung, wurde er vor allem durch sein Buch „Der Weg von Golgatha“ bekannt und betonte persönliche Buße, Demut sowie Erneuerung durch das Kreuz Christi. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Schriften bis heute Anstöße zur geistlichen Selbstprüfung und zum Leben aus der Gnade, auch wenn Zeitgenossen an seinem Ansatz mitunter eine zu starke Introspektion bemängelten.
