JESUS' LOVE
Many wonder why an all-powerful, loving God can't just forgive us without judging our sins. Why does He demand justice? Imagine entering a courtroom and you are guilty of murder. As you approach the bench, you realize that the judge is your father. Knowing that He loves you, you immediately begin to plead, " Dad, just let me go!" With tears in his eyes, he responds, "I love you, son, but I'm a judge. I can't simply let you go."
Presenting the evidence against you, he bangs the gavel down and declares you guilty. Justice can't be compromised, atleast not by a judge. But because he loves you, he steps down from the bench, takes off the robe, and offers to pay the penalty for you. And infact, he takes your place in the electric chair. This is the picture painted about Love(God). He stepped down into human history, in the Person of Jesus Christ and was crucified on the cross for us.
