The service rendered to us as sinners by the death of Christ on the cross can hardly fail to bring us a fresh sense of the measureless love of God. Here we have it put into words: “God commendeth His love toward us in that while we were sinners Christ died for us.” Everywhere the coming of Christ and the dying of Christ are referred to the love of God. This is the source and inspiration of it all—“God so loved.” A man who can stand and gaze on Calvary, and not see love of the warmest and divinest mold, is both blind of eye and hard of heart. Nowhere else does God ever write “love” in letters so large.
