"God is telling us, "I purposefully determined to crush My Son with My wrath - for your sins, as your substitute."
Why?
"Because I love you."
When your tempted to doubt God' love for you, stand before the cross and look at the wounded, dying, disfigured Savior, and realize why He is there. I believe His Father would whisper to us "Isn't that sufficient? I haven't spared My own Son; I deformed and disfigured and crushed Him - for you. What more could I do to persuade you that I love you?"
That's how far God's love goes."
