When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn't think â€œI am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me.â€ No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us - denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him - and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED. He said, â€œFather, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing.â€ He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely.
