God’s Word of Law crushes out hearts. He is really serious when He commands us to love Him with our whole heart, soul, strength, and mind AND your neighbor as yourself. We can negotiate it down in our conscience, and yet the demand remains, with eternal life at stake. If we would be honest with God and with ourselves, we must confess that we have not loved God with our whole heart, soul, strength, and mind, nor our neighbor as ourselves. So God sends His Son in compassion and mercy to rescue us from our bodies of death. He binds up our wounds. He carries us on His shoulders. He pays whatever it costs for our healing. He makes us strong so that we might be able to begin to love as He loves us.
