The Importance of Love

If you ask the average Christian, what does it mean to you that Jesus died on the cross? So will he he died for my sins? He he died so that I could be forgiven. And sadly, there are many churches in which this vision of an angry God who's going to get you demands blood and unfortunately somebody steps in the way - his own son. But simply adding the word love onto the end of that story can be actually even worse. It is like what abusers do when they say, I love you so much, you know, and it's his. The people have seen that in our generation and have reacted against it.
