The Ugliness of the Cross & Beauty of Salvation

The cross was designed to degrade, humiliate, and declare a person unfit for human company. Yet this is where the Son of God chose to go. Why? It was ugly. It was irreligious. It was the place of slaves, rebels, and criminals. Yet Jesus takes upon himself our shame, degradation, and sin. What if the ugliness of the cross is God’s evidence to show his love and salvation?
