If you want to see what judgment looks like, go to the cross. If you want to see what love looks like, go to the cross.

Awkward People Writing
Both God’s love and God’s wrath are ratcheted up in the move from the old covenant to the new, from the Old Testament to the New. These themes barrel along through redemptive history, unresolved, until they come to a resounding climax – in the cross.

Covenant Moving Wrath
