Is God fair? We ask this question as we contemplate Christ suffering on the Cross for our sins. We are the ones who should have been on the cross. It was our judgment, our sentence, our penalty, our condemnation, yet He bore it for us. Why? To show us that God loves us with a love so great that we shall never be able to comprehend it in its fullness. Justice says, 'Every sin must be paid for.' The Cross says, 'It is God Himself who pays: God Himself has paid the price once for all, and it was the most costly price that could be paid—His own death, in Jesus Christ.'
