Author H. Michael Brewer on the Crucifixion

“If half the world’s stories are about good overcoming evil, the other half are love stories. Both themes meet in the crucifixion. God purposely chose a means of salvation that would reveal the depths of God’s love for us. The cross is His way of saying, 'Look how much I love you! See how much you matter to me…no price is too high to pay for you, not even the death of my own Son.'”

Courage and Godspeed,
Chad
