Jesus' Sacrifice

"The Lord hath made him, who knew no sin, to be made sin for us. Wonder of wonders! It is beyond all degree amazing that he who distributes crowns and thrones should hang on a tree and die, the just for the unjust, bearing the punishment due to sinners for guilt."
- C.H. Spurgeon

It is indeed, as Mr. Spurgeon says, a wonder of wonders that God Himself would take on human form and bear my sins on the cross.  What great love!  The love of Jesus, as shown in the cross, really is like no other love.  In Romans 5:6-8 it says...

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. [Romans 5:6-8]

Jesus loved us, sinners, so very much that he even gave his very life for us.  What amazing love!
