But God has declared His own love. Jesus is its glorious revelation. “In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” Oh what an infinite sea of love now broke upon our guilty and rebellious world, wafting in upon its rolling tide God’s only begotten Son! That must have been great love, love infinite, love unsearchable, love surpassing all thought, which could constrain the Father to give Jesus to die for us, “while we were yet sinners.” It is the great loss of the believer, that faith eyes with so dim a vision this amazing love of God in the gift of Jesus.
