"Christianity is the only major world religion to have as its central focus the suffering and degradation of its God. The crucifixion is so familiar to us, and so moving, that it is hard to realize how unusual it is as an image of God." Churches sometimes offer Christian education classes under the title "Why Did Jesus Have to Die?" This is not really the right question. A better one is, "Why was Jesus crucified?" The emphasis needs to be, not just on the death, but on the manner of the death. To speak of a crucifixion is to speak of a slave's death. We might think of all the slaves in the American colonies who were killed at the whim of an overseer or owner, not to mention those who died on the infamous Middle Passage across the Atlantic. No one remembers their names or individual histories; their stories were thrown away with their bodies. This was the destiny chosen by the Creator and Lord of the universe: the death of a nobody. Thus the Son of God entered into solidarity with the lowest and least of all his creation, the nameless and forgotten, "the offscouring [dregs] of all things" (1 Cor. 4:13).

i had this experience around 2021, but it wasn’t until this month that i felt the Holy Spirit suddenly prompting me to make it. 

Jesus doesn’t want you to carry the guilt of your past or the pain and despair of your circumstances alone. He has taken our pain and our sin upon Himself so that we can be free through Him (Isaiah 53:5). When we ask for forgiveness, He wipes our record clean and never thinks of it again (Isaiah 44:22). By accepting the sacrifice He made in our place and putting our faith in Him, we’re adopted into His Heavenly family (John 1:12) (Romans 8:15-16)

think of that! God created you in all your talents, flaws, and unique self, and said, “This one, this is the one I love. I would die for them. And I have, so they can choose to live and love with Me forever.” His return is fast approaching, and His arms are wide open to embrace you. He’s there for the hurting, He’s there for the lonely. He’s working in ways both seen and unseen, and He is able and willing to lift the burden from your shoulders (Matthew 11:28-30).

“For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

“Love Supreme” By Charles F. Stanley (In Touch ministries):

“Why the cross is so much more than a symbol”

“The cross is one of the best-known symbols in the world today. Crosses are displayed on church steeples and walls, embossed on the covers of Bibles and books; we fashion them out of precious metals to wear proudly around our necks. But in the first century, the cross was a Roman instrument of execution, something to be feared.

How did an object that was once a symbol of cruelty come to represent Christ’s supreme love for us? In Galatians 1:4, the apostle Paul succinctly summarizes what Jesus accomplished on the cross. He “gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.” In this short passage, we can learn three things about the Father’s supreme love for us.

Christ suffered voluntarily. Jesus “gave Himself” on the cross (v. 4).

Jesus suffered for our sins.

Christ offers us His salvation.

The cross was a rescue operation. Jesus suffered and died “so that He might rescue us from this present evil age” (Galatians 1:4). Christ’s supreme love reached down to rescue us from our hopeless condition. How in the world can we neglect so great a gift? Christ has accomplished everything for us on the cross, and all we have to do is respond in faith. We have nothing to lose by yielding to God’s call, and everything to gain.”
