God is love<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Now I am face to face with my Saviour. I see Him suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane in anticipation of His death on the cross for me. I see Him in Pilate\u2019s Judgement Hall; the soldiers have been striking Him in the face, saying \u201cProphesy! Who smote thee?\u201d I see them crowning Him with a crown of thorns. They have taken Him bleeding and bruised from judgement to Calvary, where they are driving spikes through His hands and His feet. As He is then lifted up to die between two thieves, the people gather around to mock and revile Him, though He is pouring out His life to redeem them. Then I begin to understand what self-sacrificing love really means as I hear Him cry, \u201cFather, forgive them; for they know not what they do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>


But even if we could enter sympathetically into the physical sufferings of Christ until tears streamed down our cheeks, and that was all, we would still have failed miserably to comprehend the true significance of the cross.<\/span><\/p>


We read in 2 Corinthians 5:21 that \u201cHe (God) hath made Him (Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin.\u201d Come with me, I plead with you, with bowed head and humbled heart, and let us, if we may, enter into the soul-sufferings of Christ the Son, and of God the Father, as that Holy One, who loathed sin as we would loathe leprosy, is \u201cmade to be sin for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>


Ponder in your heart God\u2019s amazing love outpoured for rebels such as you and me. Recall the words of Isaac Watts:<\/span><\/p>


See, from His head, His hands, His feet,<\/em>
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!<\/em>
Did e\u2019er such love and sorrow meet,<\/em>
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?<\/em>
<\/span><\/p>


Thought: Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all!
Prayer: I come to You, O Lord, the Saviour of my soul. Thank You for Your great love for me.<\/i><\/span><\/p>
