PS is well known to be "the heart of the gospel." So let us raise it up on a pinnacle for a moment.

There's nothing more important to you than your relationship to God, and that was obtained by Jesus. How? I've made hundreds of videos with different perspectives, but let's consider the aspect of glory.

Man is here to glorify and enjoy God. God would glorify Who He is, which to us is synonymous with the very best we know, which is Love.

God would glory in His love for all to see, on the cross. There, would God show that a relationship is worth more to Him than all the other stuff in the world. As one of our favorite authors said concerning the times when he and I most feel the problem of evil: Better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all.

And so we Jesus, charged by God's ordained law with every sin of every saved person. At that climax of history, God has two options: Either 1. He let His Son burn with His justice stuffed into three hours. Or 2. in love, He forgives as freely as He made this hurting world.

But why must God charge Him so? Because He died, and according to the (Curses, Sacrifice, Blessings of) law: those who die are deserving either 1. of themselves or 2. as a sacrifice. And since He wasn't deserving of HimSelf, God was forced to put Him into the law's sacrifice category. Sacrifice is a role given to a completely unjust death: His.

Jesus would have gone to hell, if not for this: The law was not His only relationship with God. He had another attachment to God which we didn't. When the law cast out Jesus, He still was God's Son. And His Father loved Him more than anything He could do wrong. And so many offensive waters could not quench true love, neither could the floods of grievances drown it. All God made from nothing was a drop in the bucket compared to the eternal love He had for His Son, and that folks is the meaning of life to appreciate and glorify.
