In the cross, there is forgiveness. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death, and that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. God offers forgiveness for our sins through the shedding of the blood of Christ. Jesus Christ died once and for all for the sins of the world so that all may come to the Father.

In the cross, there is grace. To die for a loved one is grace. To die for an enemy redefines grace. We all fall short from the glory of God, and there is nothing we can do to re-earn that. While we were sinners, Christ died for us (Rom 5:8). Grace is a gift given to us while we are not eligible. That is why it is call a gift.

In the cross, there is love. We sometimes do incomprehensible (sometimes silly) things when it comes to love. God does the incomprehensible when He sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross because He loves both you and I. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Without love, forgiveness and grace reduce to mere charity. We love because God first loved us (1Jn 4:19)

At Calvary Jesus Christ gives the word Forgiveness, Grace and Love a splendorous re-definition. We may not, or ever will, fully comprehend breath of His forgiveness, the height of His grace and the depth of His love. Not all things require comprehension. In all things from God, it requires faith.
