There are those for whom I would give my life. But ask me to make a list of those for whom I would kill my daughter? The sheet will be blank. I don’t need a pencil. The list has no names. But God’s list contains the name of every person who ever lived. For this is the scope of his love. And this is the reason for the cross. He loves the world.
是有一些人、我願意為他們犧牲生命。 但若要我列一張名單, 寫下這些我願意為他們犧牲我女兒性命的人, 我並不需要筆,因為這名單會是空的。 但是對於神, 這單子上會列出曾在這世上活過的每一個人。 這是神的大愛、這是十字架的源由、『神愛世人』。
