When I survey that wondrous cross

We have a truly amazing God.

Jesus was born and then lived to love and share the Word of Salvation on Earth.
He brought forgiveness by taking our sins upon himself and dying on a cross.

When those who hated Him lashed out, He turned the other cheek for them as well. And He taught others to live this way.

He hoped that His death would show the ultimate forgiveness, and prove that love always rises above hatred; hoped that they would finally come to be with him and rejoice in kindness throughout.
And he willingly died knowing that people could easily mock Him and close their heart to Him even after He died for them.
They could easily just laugh and turn away.
But He did it anyway.

Truly amazing.
