The three ingredients of the cross of Christ...
[b]
The SIN OF MAN

<font color="blue"> Merciful Father, when I see Your Son scourged and crowned with piercing throns, when I see Him languishing on the Cross, please let me remmber it was my sins that brought Him to such a place.</font>

The JUSTICE OF GOD

<font color="blue">Every sin you have ever committed will be visited by the infinite wrath of God. The only question is whether God's wrath will fall on that sin when it is on you, or when it is on Christ on the Cross. </font>

The LOVE OF GOD

<font color="blue"> Wonder of wonders that the Creator would die for the creatures' sin. How astonishing that Jesus, there on the cross, would pray for those who even just then had nailed Him to that horrible Cross.
