The Duration of God’s Prodigious Love for Us

The monster of the Crucifixion tried to kill God's love for us. It failed. Its failure was utter, abject and total. God's love for us emerged from his clash with the monster unscathed - undiminished - without the slightest scratch. Wow! The dial that controls his love for us is in his hands not ours. Moreover, it is set to the highest degree and is locked in place. Not even the evil that we did to him could budge it. God's love for us is indestructible. Divinity is also love - a mysteriously intransigent, inexplicably persistent and radically stubborn love (Isaiah 55:8-9) (Psalm 8:4-8) (Lamentations 3:22-23) (Jeremiah 31:3).
