Weve got this weird compartmentalization thing that happens where you dont think God sees all that you are, or that if He could, or somehow knew who you were going to be, He wouldnt have gone to the cross. Um, listen, God knew you were going to be messy. Christ knew you were going to be messy. God knows that youre going to screw up often. He knows that youre going to be drawn to things that are wicked. He knows. Thats what the cross is all about! The whole point of the cross is that youre going to fail and youre going to stumble and youre going to feel dirty and youre going to feel awkward. The whole point of the cross of Christ is there be this mighty picture of His love and pursuit of you DESPITE you. So, the cross is necessary because of you, but its also the picture we have of just how far God is willing to go because He LOVES YOU. -Matt Chandler
