The Plan of the Cross

The plan of the cross was to conquer death by death. The climax of the promise of God was the victory of love, the power of commitment.  For Jesus knew that his Father’s love for him was unconditional, that his Father would never let him down, never forsake him, He knew that God would eternally keep him. Jesus gave up everything, poured himself out in death because he knew the Father’s pleasure was in loving him.  The cross was the strength of goodness defeating sickness, lack and death. The power of the cross was the fullness of God conquering death by death.
