The temptation to belittle Christ's death on the cross can be quite easy. "He is God. He will live again. So what's the deal?" But that is precisely why it is a big deal! He is God!
A drop in the ocean cannot compare to the ocean itself, yet however many times we multiply the ocean, it cannot compare to the Infinite. However many 0's you add to a number, it is still meaningless compared to infinity. And yet, we have Jesus sacrificing Himself for us, and on the cross at that! Such love!
If you ever feel that love is running away from you, remember that moment in the cross when instead of holding anger against us, the people who caused His death, He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing."
