I remember around three-four days ago, I wrote in my journal that one of my greatest weaknesses is the inability to see God in both His aspects - love and wrath. And I wanted to understand what it really was like.
I must say, God is so true in everything that He says, including where He says, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you".
Today I got perhaps the most vivid explanation of what I was seeking - the Cross.
When we behold the cross, we shall see, the love and wrath of God, manifested in its fullness. The wrath of God that must be satisfied, was the necessity of the cross. And the love of God that saved us, was manifested in the only Son of God, Jesus Christ, giving His own life on the same cross.
Think of it, its overwhelming!
God punishing, and God accepting the punishment on our behalf. What love is this??
The unfathomable, incomprehensible, unchangeable, incomparable, indescribable love of God...
Hallelujah!

One Sunday, i went to the Children's worship in our church. The worship leader was askin the kids, "So, where did God let His anger out?" followed by stark silence. He repeated the question and looked up at the adults, expectant of an answer. Then came a faint voice from one of the front rows- "On the Cross!" I was amazed at the wisdom of that 7 yr old...the post reminded me of this incident:) Even through His wrath He unravelled His Love for us! Amazing!
