He Stayed on the Cross

From John MacArthur’s 2 part series entitled, “The Wickedness of Crucifixion” (part 1, part 2).

I don’t know where you are today. He longs to embrace you into His arms, to give you the salvation He so freely offered. He stayed on the cross not because He couldn’t come down, He stayed on the cross because He wouldn’t come down. And I believe that the Savior shed tears for those who shed His very blood. Such is the compassion of God and the gift of salvation.
