He just loves
Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that— It lights the whole world. — Hafez Christ’s crucifixion is a perfect image of the way Our Father loves us. He just does. In Christ’s death and resurrection, there is this love, that does not expect recompense. No, God did not cause Jesus to die in order to pay Himself a ransom so that He could get paid to forgive us. He didn’t need to be paid. In our binary thought patterns it doesn’t seem fair. But… He just loves.
