Dale Ralph Davis asked the following question,'Do you think we lose something if we spend much time thinking about the theology of the cross in the Epistles, but rarely stand at the actual scene as depicted in the Gospels?'There is I'm sure an aspect of that, that is true ,but without the theology that person hanging on the cross is just another man dying a horrible death. The theology gives the meaning as regards that man Jesus who was truly God and truly man.likewise the theology tells us the purpose of His death.It also tells us something we cannot see,something that goes beyond the awful and terrible physical suffering,that is Jesus bearing God's wrath. again it is D.R.D ,who writes ,'Don't run off. Stay at Golgotha. Let the sadness sink in . Consider the wrath of God, And ponder the pathos of love,and he points to 1 John 4 v10,which reads,'Is this not love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins'
'Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul,my life,
My all.'
'Words by Isaac Watts'
