A LOVE BEYOND ALL LOVE

Severe problems often call for extreme measures. Just anything won’t do for everything. The solution for the situation must be sufficient. That is never more true than when the problem is sin. This is a situation for which there is only one solution Absolutely nothing else will do.And when we consider what it takes to provide a cure we see how horrible sin is. Michael Williams wrote:

Knowing the cure tells you a lot about the gravity of the disease. In the cross we see what was needed to cure the wound of sin, and we see what lengths God was willing to go to cure it. Thus we see its true character as something so reprehensible to God, as something so unfit for inclusion in God’s covenant kingdom, that his own Son must suffer. And finally, it is then that we see God’s character as the one who goes all the way, who bears the full burden of the covenant upon himself. We see a love beyond all love.
