'How deep is the love of God? Without Jesus Christ, talk about the "depth of God's love" would simply be an abstraction. Without Jesus Christ, God could send you sixty volumes, with every page saying, "I love you deeply, I love you deeply, I love you deeply," but it would still be an abstract concept, not a life-changing reality. To genuinely understand the depths of God's love you must know the depths to which Jesus Christ went in order to love you. How deep did he go? "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"'
Timothy Keller, Prayer, p.174.
