God is love, and love has no wrath

What the old language calls "the wrath of God" or "the wrath of the Lamb" is love itself, experienced by a heart still clinging to fear. To one running home, His face is joy; to one still hiding, the same face feels like fire — but the fire is in the hiding, not in the love. The day is "great and dreadful": great to the child, dreadful only to the fear.
