There Is Hope In Forgiveness

This Is The Centre Of The Gospel - This Is What The Garden Of Gethsemane And Good Friday Are All About - That God Has Done Astonishing And Costly Things To Draw Us Near.

The Way Of The Cross Is The Way Of Suffering. Christians Are Called To Die, Not Kill, In Order To Show The World How They Are Loved By Christ.

Christ Died That We Might Live. This Is The Opposite Of Abortion. Abortion Kills That Someone Might Live Differently.

The Formation Of The Life Of A Person In The Womb Is The Work Of God, And It Is Not Merely A Mechanical Process But A Work On The Analogy Of Weaving Or Knitting: "thou Didst Knit Me Together In My Mother's Womb" (psalm 139:13). The Life Of The Unborn Is The Knitting Of God, And What He Is Knitting Is A Human Being In His Own Image, Unlike Any Other Creature In The Universe... The Destruction Of Conceived Human Life - Whether Embryonic, Fetal, Or Viable - Is An Assault On The Unique Person-forming Work Of God.

Love Is The Overflow Of Joy In God! It Is Not Duty For Duty's Sake, Or Right For Right's Sake. It Is Not A Resolute Abandoning Of One's Own Good With A View Solely To The Good Of The Other Person. It Is First A Deeply Satisfying Experience Of The Fullness Of God's Grace, And Then A Doubly Satisfying Experience Of Sharing That Grace With Another Person.
