Christ's work of redemption ....
"Descended into Hell ...."

He who allowed Himself to be crucified took upon Himself the sins of all mankind and offered God the atonement for them. This act of greatest human love was unique, for never before has a human being suffered as Jesus did, Whose love was exceedingly great and was returned to Him in the most shameful way. He wooed the love of His fellow human beings, He did them good and helped them earthly and spiritually, but this demonstration of love was not enough for Him, He wanted to bring help to humanity for eternity, He wanted to show them the path to eternal bliss.

But His love was disregarded and the most shameful thing that could only be done to a human being was done to Him .... . He was crucified like a felon .... Satan himself carried out the work on Him, for those who carried it out were His servants. But the powers of darkness are also subject to God's will, they were to a certain extent involved in Christ's work of redemption, only in evil will, which is why they have therefore brought guilt upon themselves, although the work of redemption was accepted by God as an atonement for humanity.

The will to love of the man Jesus, Who allowed Himself to be crucified out of mercy for His suffering fellow human beings, was highly valued, for He suffered unspeakably as a human being, because everything that was done to Him was done in hatred and His soul was most sensitively affected by it. He gave love and reaped the deepest hatred in return, He wanted to lead people upwards, to the light, and the darkest figures of the deep confronted Him and sought to pull Him down; He consciously took the cup and drank it, although His human nature trembled and He prayed to God in deepest anguish: "Why have You forsaken Me ...".

He suffered as a man, as a pure, sinless man, Who knew nothing but love and to Whom, therefore, all power was at His disposal .... . He did not use power but allowed Himself to be crucified and conceded to the worst fellow human beings the right to dispose of His body .... And they did it to His indescribable agony .... He atoned for humanity's sins because He wanted to redeem them.

He knew that sin was the greatest evil, that it determined their fate in eternity, and thus He tried to draw people's attention to the great danger they were in due to their sinful way of life by word and deed, but people neither accepted His teaching nor changed of their own accord. And so Jesus made the sacrifice by giving His body, which was completely spotless and bowed under the burden of sin, which collapsed earthly because thousands of souls clung to Him, who tried to pull Him down into darkness.

But He was stronger, the power of love was stronger than death, He even overcame death and became its victor ..... He did not shake off souls, but He sought to convince them of the power of love .... He also brought salvation to those who were no longer on this earth .... He descended to hell before He ascended to heaven. Into the deepest depths His love penetrated, and whoever accepted it was saved, he was redeemed from the chains of death.

God, as the eternal Love, also wants to save the lost, and therefore He accepted the love of a human being which was so profound that it applied to the whole of humanity, and which He wanted to express through His exceedingly painful death .... God accepted this sacrifice of love and granted redemption from the unfree state, which was the result of sin, to all those who acknowledge Jesus as Saviour and burden Him with their sins. For His love is greater than His wrath, and everything that walks in love finds grace before His eyes and also His mercy. For the sake of Jesus' blood His gaze turns to the wretched, and He forgives the greatest guilt ....

Amen
