To me this is one of the most exalted thoughts: the Creator and the man on the cross are one and the same person! What could have moved this Lord of all lords and King of all kings to go to the cross for me? My mind cannot fathom it, but John 3:16 gives me the answer: it is his boundless love, which did everything for me so that I would not be lost.
