None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Corinthians 2:8 NIV, 9-26-13)

I think I’m out of balance on this one. Paul manages to hold in tension his joy that Jesus died for him, and his anger (built on his love of Jesus) at what was done to Jesus in the process. I do well at the former, not so well at the latter. Maybe I need a refresher course in loving Jesus.

[Father, help me to love your Son more deeply.]
