The Heart of God Revealed

“The most important question anyone can answer is “”Who is Jesus?”” How you answer determines your eternal destiny. Throughout Scripture, Jesus reveals who He is through miracles, teachings, and declarations. But we never see who Jesus is and what God is like more clearly than at the cross.

At Calvary, the innocent One dies among transgressors, between two thieves. Crucifixion was the most shameful, disgraceful death imaginable—a Roman invention designed to crush resistance and deter crime through public torture. A man would literally suffocate in his own fluids or die from exposure and blood loss. The Romans prolonged death as long as possible so victims would beg to die.

Yet on this cross, we see Someone completely in charge of His own destiny. Even placed into the hands of sinful men, Jesus the Son of God remains in control. And His first words from the cross reveal the heart of God like nothing else: “”Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”” Here is divine love demonstrated—to err is human, but to forgive is divine. Jesus declares His deity and demonstrates God’s heart: to give love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness to all who will receive it.”
