To provide a door, an entrance, into the blessings of salvation through faith in His name, our Lord must needs die an atoning death on the cross. So we read His own words, "I AM the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep." (John 10:1111I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. (John 10:11)). Did ever love go so far? Did ever love pay such a price? How feebly we realize it. Through Him we get salvation, liberty (in contrast with Judaism), sustenance, life (where it was forfeited under the law), intimacy (where the law spoke of distance), communion as the Father has communion with the Son, eternal life, never to be plucked from the hand of the Father, nor from the hand of the Son, the double grip of eternal love. What assurance! Surely such love demands our all.
