For example, thieves were nailed to
wooden crosses until they died from dehydration or loss of blood; men and women were herded into dens of hungry lions, to be mauled or eaten alive; some were burned alive.
This is great, but if you really want to see what what God's love looks like, look to Jesus dying on a
cross for the sins of the world, including the sins of those who are whipping his back and legs
until his skin is gone and then laying that back on a rough and splintery
wooden cross to crucify him, and continuing the torture
until he's unrecognizable as a human being.
