Let us not forget that it is by his stripes we are healed.

That he was wounded for our transgressions and he was bruised for our equities and the testizement

of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed and let us not be so arrogant that we blame the Romans or the Jews because the

truth of the matter is it is our sins that crucified the Lord our Our indulgences, our excessive behavior, our compulsive behaviors. It is us that crucified the Lord. He redefined what love is for God so loved the world that he gave his only

begotten son that whoso ever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

This was how God expressed love. This is God's love language. It's not acts of kindness, it's not

pleasant words, it's not service, it's not touching, it's dying. It's God's love language. When God gets ready to show how deep

and intense and rich, his love is, he does it by dying

So much so that the Bible called the cross his passion.

Can you conceive that God loves you with such passion that the only way he could find to express his utter adoration, his complete enthrment with you.

His absolute fascination with you, his complete love for you, his caring for what you've

been through and how you've suffered and how you've been doing.

That Jesus is the lover of our soul and when he got ready to make love to us, he didn't rent a room.

He borrowed a tomb and laid on the cross and died and called it

his passion. God so love, God, the infinite power, so to the infinite degree, love

the infinite emotion, the world, the infinite chaos that he gave the ultimate gift his only

forgotten son the ultimate sacrifice that whosoever believe it.

Believe it on him shall not perish,

but have in life.

the reason I read both Old Testament and New Testament, and it seems like there are two different stories, but they are the same truth.
