The greatest display of love

He [Christ] never more gloriously displayed his love to God and man, He never undertook a more excellent work, which the whole choir of angels beheld with greater applause, and God the Father himself was never more pleased with it than when hanging on the cross, He resolutely struggled with the horrors of eternal death.
