That is a strange expression, if you will think about it, that 'God commendeth His love towards us in that Christ died. If you take the interpretation of Christ's death of which I have already been speaking, one could have understood the Apostle if he had said, 'Christ commendeth His love towards us in that Christ died. But where is the force of the fact of a man's death to prove God's love?
And the apostles, with a unanimity which can only be explained as the result of His own teaching, always associate God's love with Christ's death in a way in which they never associate God's love with Christ's life. "God," says St. Paul, "commendeth His own love toward us, in that ... Christ died for us." Christ's death, then, we say, establishes the love of God. But how does this come to pass?
With that he commendeth the damsel to God, and goeth his way in one direction and the damsel in another, and saith to herself that Perceval is the most marvellous knight of the world, that so often he discogniseth himself. For when one seeth him one may recognise him not.
I noted that Robert was very silent during the rest of our journey, and seemed abashed and troubled in the presence of the gay gentleman; for, although a fair and comely youth, and of good family and estate, and accounted solid and judicious beyond his years, he does, nevertheless, much lack the ease and ready wit with which the latter commendeth himself to my sweet kinswoman.
He calleth it marga, and, making divers kinds thereof, he finally commendeth ours, and that of France, above all other, which lieth sometime a hundred foot deep, and far better than the scattering of chalk upon the same, as the Hedui and Pictones did in his time, or as some of our days also do practise: albeit divers do like better to cast on lime, but it will not so long endure, as I have heard reported.
For right well should I love your coming." "Lady," saith he, "never shall be the day my services shall fail you, so I be in place, and you in need thereof." He taketh leave and departeth, armed. The Damsel of the Car commendeth him to God, and Perceval departeth full speed and rideth so far on his journeys that he cometh to his uncle's hermitage and entereth in, thinking to find Lancelot.
"It would be just and right, papa, if you did not love me half so well as any of your other children." She spoke aloud this time, as her father had. "We all have our faults, Lu," remarked Max, "but papa loves us in spite of them." "'God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us," quoted the captain.
And here in Romans 'God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. And in Corinthians 'He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Don't you see?" "O hush! stop!" said David; "you bewilder me.
But the man that comes to God by Christ, has chosen the world that is infinitely good; a world, betwixt which and this there can be no comparison. This must be granted, because he that comes to God by Christ is said to have made the best choice, even chose a city that has foundations. That is the world which God commendeth, but this that that he slighteth and contemneth.
With that, the squire departeth and taketh leave of Messire Gawain, and he commendeth him to God and hath great pity of him, and entereth into the forest and goeth great pace, and findeth the stream of a spring that ran with a great rushing, and nigh thereunto was a way that was much haunted.
