The Cross: Gods wrath and Love meet

Who is this coming from Edom,
from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?
Who is this, robed in splendor,
striding forward in the greatness of his strength?
"It is I, proclaiming victory,
mighty to save." Why are your garments red,
like those of one treading the winepress? "I have trodden the winepress alone;
from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled them in my anger
and trod them down in my wrath;
their blood spattered my garments,
and I stained all my clothing. It was for me the day of vengeance;
the year for me to redeem had come. I looked, but there was no one to help,
I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm achieved salvation for me,
and my own wrath sustained me. I trampled the nations in my anger;
in my wrath I made them drunk
and poured their blood on the ground." (Isaiah 63:1-6 NIV)

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
(Romans 5:8-11 NIV)

Both of these passages paint such an amazing picture of the wrath of God coming to bring judgement for sin and yet salvation from God by his son Jesus. For the Son of God himself worked out our salvation on the cross. Jesus bore the wrath of God as his Father unleashed the punishment on him his Son. And in that moment in death the ultimate price Gods wrath and love met. 3 days later the greater of the two revealed itself victorious God's Love as God raised Jesus to new and eternal life!

Thank You Jesus!
Lord continue to help us understand the reality of your wrath and your love. Help us to understand and live through the cross.
Amen
