Paragraph 2. JESUS DIED CRUCIFIED
616
It is love “to the end”446 that confers on Christ’s sacrifice
its value as redemption and reparation, as atonement and satisfaction. He knew
and loved us all when he offered his life.447 Now “the love of
Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all;
therefore all have died.”448 No man, not even the holiest, was
ever able to take on himself the sins of all men and offer himself as a
sacrifice for all. the existence in Christ of the divine person of the Son, who
at once surpasses and embraces all human persons, and constitutes himself as
the Head of all mankind, makes possible his redemptive sacrifice for all.
