The more we study the divine character in the light of the cross, the more we see mercy, tenderness, and forgiveness blended with equity and justice, and the more clearly we discern innumerable evidences of a love that is infinite and a tender pity surpassing a mother's yearning sympathy for her wayward child.
Kadiri tunavyojifunza zaidi tabia ya Mungu kwa mtizamo wa msalaba, ndivyo tunavyoona rehema zaidi, huruma, na msamaha uliochangamana na msamaha usiostahili na haki, na tunaona kwa wazi zaidi uthibitisho usioweza kuhesabika wa upendo ambao hauna mfano na huruma ukizidi ule wa mama mwenye huruma kwa mtoto wake aliyetanga mbali.
