"What we see at the cross is the white-hot revelation of the character of God, of his love providing the price that holiness requires. The cross was his means of redeeming lost sinners and reconciling them to himself, but it was also a profound disclosure of his mercy. It is, in Paulâ€™s words, an â€˜inexpressible giftâ€™ that leads us to wonder and worship, to praise and adore the God who has given himself to us in this way."

-- David F. Wells
