Crucifix religious mural solid wood decoration Catholic art altar wall hanging Jesus Christian gift Jesus reminds us when we forget, strengthens us when we are tired, and inspires us to act in love, not personal gain, when we hesitate. The crucifixion of Jesus is the greatest sacrifice and gift from God to mankind. Since humanity has repeatedly sinned and violated the Covenant (the agreement between God and the Jewish people), the only appropriate atonement is the sacrifice of God's own Son, poetically described as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." By agreeing to stand trial and then accept death, "Jesus atoned for our wrongs and was satisfied for our sins." This means that, because of Jesus' selfless actions, it is possible for God to erase humanity's sins. Jesus' death demonstrated Christ's love for all people, and "during the Passion of Christ," it was evident, "the depth and breadth of God's love shined through."
