At the cross we understand what God means when

he talks of loving us, begin to take it in that there

is nothing that he will not do, no sacrifice he will
not make, no suffering that he will shirk, if only he
can help us. ‘He loved me,’ said Paul, standing
upon Calvary and gazing in a stunned way at the
cross, ‘I who was a persecutor, and a blasphemer,
and injurious, and yet he loved me and he gave
himself for me.’ And with that [Paul’s] heart
broke, and the old life was gone.”

—Scottish preacher Arthur John Gossip,

in a 1926 sermon titled “What Happens at Calvary”
