The love that can do anything!

We are used to talking about the "Love of Christ", but have we really considered the suffering on the cross for our sins?

17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

John 10:17

If we reflect on the sacrifice of the cross as it has been agreed upon in the following generations, it has been one of the most painful and amazing methods in history carried out by human beings. Death on the cross was not only hanging the person on the cross, this suffering began long before when the soldiers scourged the criminal by whipping them on their backs with leather cords and at the tip with a piece of bone or metal that tore the flesh of the prisoners. Once on the cross the soldiers would load the hands or wrists and the prisoner onto the wood on the cross and then another nail would be driven into the ankles, while the person was hanging he had to push himself up on his ankles to be able to breathe and so on until his death occurred.

About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Matthew 27:46

Jesus Christ was 100% human but he was also 100% God, in the scene of the crucifixion he experienced all the brutality and physical agony that a human being could experience, in turn he also experienced great spiritual and emotional anguish.

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:21

But when Jesus Christ took our sins upon himself taking the place of the Savior of the world, God saw him made sin for us and turned his gaze away from his son leaving him alone in his suffering, but Jesus Christ did not see himself as a victim since as a savior he offered himself on our behalf and he did this with great joy and thus demonstrating that there is no greater love than that expressed there on the cross. Now let us just stop and think and reflect on that act of love on the cross and everything he endured for love of us, it shows us that he has a limitless love for us, he considers us worthy of the love of Jesus Christ for having saved us!
