This week in our series, This Is Love, we’re reminded that the cross was never an accident — it was always the plan. Jesus didn’t just allow the cross to happen to Him; He willingly stepped into it to fulfill what had been set in motion from the very beginning.

From Passover to Abraham and Isaac, to the bronze serpent in the wilderness, Scripture points forward to this moment. The cross was more than a Roman instrument of death — it was God’s plan of redemption. This message invites us to see the depth of His love and the intentional sacrifice that made a way for us to be saved.
