the compassionate loving Christ Jesus,
who came to save that which was
lost" Through what is called the
supreme sacrifice, he overcame death
on the cross, revealing to men their

greater and can do more for us than
the llslited human concept OF love.

II is because humanity has believed
that IL is subject to the chance and
has desired an adequate savior. Ii h~
