How truly loving God is. He loves us enough to help us. No price is too high for him to pay for us. We sing verse 1. When you look up here to the altar and see the love of God depicted in the crucifix, what do you think.
Many people find the death depicted there offensive, depressing.
So crosses have been removed from many churches. But God would have us see something different. We see there not just suffering and death, but love. What happens to us when we see this symbol of God s love for us. Many wear crosses and crucifixes as just decoration today, from rock stars to professional wrestlers.
