Glowing furnace
Luther (legend) on God's love:
'This is the ineffable and infinite mercy of God which the slender capacity of man's heart cannot comprehend and much less utter - the unfathomable depth and burning zeal of God's love towards us.'
'He has poured upon us ALL his treasure, which no man can measure and no angle can understand or fathom for our God is a glowing furnace of love.'
And Peter Kreeft:
'He is the most forgotten soul in the world. He is the one we love to hate. He practises what he preaches: he turns the other cheek to our slaps. That is what love is, what love does, what love receives. Love is why he came. It's all love. The buzzing flies around the cross, the stroke of the hammer as the nails tear into his screamingly soft flesh, the infinitely harder stroke of his people's hammering hatred, hammering at his heart....
Why?
For love. God is love as the sun is fire and light, and he can no more stop loving than the sun can stop shining.'
