Now thats love.[ Romans 5 v 8]

Bruce Milne, writing on Christs  self humbling to death,says/,This is love,
not that we loved God,but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins[1 John 4 v10].In the end there is no other explanation of the cross other than the love of God. There can be no other,for we certainly do not deserve it and can never earn it / The following words
were written in pencil on the wall of a narrow room,of an asylum by a man
said to have been demented.
                  Could we with ink the ocean fill,
                   And were the skies of parchment made,
                   Were every stalk on earth a quill,
                   And every man a scribe by trade.
                    To write the love of God above,
                    Would drain the ocean dry,
                    Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
                   Tho stretched from sky to sky.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish ,but have everlasting life[John 3 v16]. Now that's Love.
