Meaning

Jesus is the center of the love of God.

Explication

Christ is the beloved Son of the Father, and as such, the desire of all who love God. He will draw all who love God to him. Christ gave his life for each of us spilling his precious blood on Calvary, he did it for LOVE. The Roman floggings were known to be terribly brutal. They usually consisted of 39 lashes. The soldier would use a whip of braided leather thongs with metal balls woven into them. When the whip would strike the flesh, this balls would cause deep bruises or contusions, which would break open with further blows. And the whip had pieces of sharp bone as well, which would cut the flesh severely. The back would be so shredded that part of the spine was sometimes exposed by the deep cuts. The whipping would have gone all the way from the shoulders down to the back and the back of legs. As the floggings continued, the lacerations would tear into the underlying skeletal muscles and produce quivering ribbons of bleeding flesh. The sufferer`s veins were laid bare, and the very muscles, sinews and bowels of the victim were open to exposure. Every whip he received in his body, he received it out of love. He took our place.
