CALVARY WAS A PLACE OF UNRESTRAINED HATE.

 CALVARY WAS A PLACE OF UNPARALLELED SUFFERING.

 CALVARY WAS A PLACE WHERE JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED.

 CALVARY WAS A PLACE OF UNFATHOMABLE ATONEMENT. 

2 Corinthians 5:21 – He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

 Galatians 3:13 – Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”—

 Isaiah 53:4-5 – Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried;
yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. ⁵ But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed.

 Colossians 2:14-15 – Having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. ¹⁵ When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

 Galatians 4:4-5 – But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, ⁵ so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

CALVARY WAS A PLACE OF UNEQUALLED LOVE.

 Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

 John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
