"Having loved his own who were in this world, he loved them to the end (John 13:1." Throughout his Gospel John has stressed the divinity of Jesus. In John's view it is God who hangs on the Cross. The death of Jesus is not aimed at convincing God to love us. It is aimed at convincing us that God has always loved us. The Crucifixion shows us to what lengths God will go to prove such constant love. Through the arms of Jesus opened wide on the Cross, God embraces all humanity from beginning to end with a love that never stops.
(The Crucifixion by Georges Rouault)
