While on holiday in the town in Tavistock I saw something that is in most towns in the United Kingdom a monument with names on it, the dead who died in war who sacrificed their lives for our sakes.0n top of this particular monument there is a cross, that reminds all who see it of one who sacrificed his life for mankind. They both made sacrifices,those whose names are mentioned on the monument, lead down their lives for friend ,family,and their fellow country men,and we applaud that, Consider the profound difference between the sacrifice that Christ made , from the sacrifice of those who laid down their lives ,in wars.Christ sacrifice was for his enemies Romans 5 v 8,the fact is, all mankind are total enemies of God, lovers of darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil,in fact they hate the light John 5 v 19-20. The supreme reason for crucifying Jesus is summed up in the words of Luke 19 v14,'We will not have this man to reign over us'. Mankind has always objected to God's rule ,and when they crucified him, they showed their hatred for God in the most extreme manner imaginable. Yet in spite of such ingrained brutality,Christ sacrificed his life that mankind's sins could be forgiven,and that they may be reconciled to God, and receive eternal life.
'We love Him, because he first love us'.
1 John 4 v 5 .
