Two things

"There are two things that render Christ's love wonderful:

1. That he should be willing to endure sufferings that were so great

2. That he should be willing to endure them to make atonement for wickedness that was so great."

                                                                                                            Jonathan Edwards, 'Christ's Agony'.

This love - "whose obedience is wide and long and high and deep enough to dissolve

                                a mountain

                                                     of rightful wrath

is the love you've been looking for all your life.

No family love
                      no friend love
                                            no mother love
                                                                   no spousal love
                                                                                            no romantic love
     

                        nothing
                                    could possibly satisfy you like that.



All those other kinds of loves will let you down; this one never will."
