How Christ's death takes away thy sins thou wilt never know on earth -- perhaps not in heaven. It is a mystery which thou must believe and adore. But why He died thou canst see at the first glance, if thou hast a human heart and will look at what God means thee to look at -- Christ upon His Cross. He died because He was Love -- love itself, love boundless, unconquerable, unchangeable -- love which inhabits eternity, and therefore could not be hardened or foiled by any sin or rebellion of man, but must love men still -- must go out to seek and save them, must dare, suffer any misery, shame, death itself, for their sake -- just because it is absolute and perfect Love which inhabits eternity.
