The Whole Jesus Thing

This is how I understand it, and I'm still working my way through it. God is love, as the Bible says. But if you were to ask 100 people what love is, I'm sure you would get some pretty interesting answers, not to mention some that were outright contradictions of each other. God's love, i.e. ultimate love from the very source itself, includes justice. Think about it. Didn't we learn in high school chemistry that the equation must absolutely balance in order for it to be a true representation of reality? You cannot simply say, "Let's have a do-over. We didn't really understand that the game was real." But part of the lesson here is that God loves us, you and me, so much that he provided himself as the righteous sacrifice to balance the equation, that being, "The soul that sins, shall die." The bible says that Jesus "was made sin for us". As to Jesus being God, think of it this way, if it helps: suppose you had a friend who desperately needed water. You have water, but your friend is removed from you by a wall with a crack in it, so you can barely see your friend. Now, water can take three forms,right (solid, liquid, and gasseous)? You could try to squirt the water to them, but it would probably only get all over the walls and be wasted. If you converted the water to vapor, and then your friend somehow distilled it (stay with me here), they might get the water they were needing. So God had to take a form that would be seen and heard by us, who have eyes and ears. Take one thing from this: there were people who died horrendous deaths because they witnessed the transforming power of his love, or because they saw him alive, and would not, could not recant. If someone threatened me with being burned alive for Caesar, or Napoleon, or George Washington, I'd sell those guys in a heartbeat. Please respond.
