Call the 3rd one Dusty: when you touched it and patted it on the head, dust went flying. haha 2x. haha. "But God commendeth His love towards us".. That verb "commendeth" is used of a king when he takes his seal that is upon his ring & presses it upon the hot wax that seals the letter. In antiquity, the king's seal meant that it was from the king. The Cross was God pressing the Seal of His Love towards us. It's the waxy imprint of his authorship & certifies it is from the king. "But-( love that beautiful contrasting conjuction) God COMMENDETH His love towards us....." It's seal of His love toward us. Thank God for the Cross!
