“God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us!” Romans 5:8
The love of God to guilty man is a love that passes knowledge.
Its riches are unsearchable; and its extent past finding out. 
For you, the heavens have bowed their glory.
Because For you, the Lord of life has descended to the earth.
For you, the Son of God became the Son of man; and the possessor of a heavenly throne has been made the victim of an earthly cross.
Because For you, this mysterious traveler upon the earth was humbled and bruised, has agonized and died.
For you . . .
purity was tempted,
innocence suffers,
kindness is despised,
majesty is crushed, and
all the dignity and glory of Immanuel is covered with shame!
Jesus did all this just to redeem you from inevitable condemnation; to save your perishing soul from an everlasting punishment in Hell.
Therefore “May you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should–how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is! May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully!” Ephesians 3:18-19

The sympathy of Jesus
“In all our affliction he is afflicted.”
Jesus weeps with us.
He knows our sorrows, for He has passed
through them all, and therefore He feels
for us. Because He is touched with the feeling of
our griefs as well as of our infirmities.
Therefore Even in His glory He enters most fully into
the fellowship of our burdens and sorrow,
whatever these may be, for there is not
one which He did not taste when He “dwelt
among us” here. Because His is sympathy, deep,
real, and true. It is no fiction, no fancy.
Therefore We do not see His tears falling upon us;
neither do we clasp His hand nor feel the
beating of His heart against ours. But still
His communion with us in suffering is a reality.
