Who does not know John 3:16? "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son..." Yet in speaking of God's love, we must speak of the cross. For it is on the cross that we bear witness to exactly what God's love looks like. "Christ was killed so that He might kill that which was killing us" goes an old Lenten phrase. Far from being a symbol of shame or defeat, the cross is our glory. It is here where God reclaims the lost from the darkness of sin and bestows upon them the life that death cannot overcome.
