What does it actually mean to love as Christ loved?

In Day 18 of Daily Devotions with Dead People – Christmas Advent, Cass from Her Theology shares a deeply confronting and searching devotional from Amy Carmichael, an Irish missionary who served in India for 55 years and rescued countless young girls from temple exploitation.

Amy Carmichael’s reflection, Calvary Love, is not sentimental or soft. It is a heart-examining series of statements that expose how easily our love falls short of the love displayed at the cross. Again and again she presses the question: “If this is true of me, do I really know Calvary love?”

This episode invites listeners to slow down, examine their hearts, and measure their lives not by intention, emotion, or comfort — but by the self-giving, sacrificial love of Christ shown at Calvary.

You’ll hear:

• Who Amy Carmichael was and why her life still speaks powerfully today
• What “Calvary love” truly looks like in everyday relationships
• Why conviction is not condemnation, but an invitation to transformation
• How fixing our eyes on the cross reshapes how we love, serve, forgive, and suffer

This is a challenging episode — intentionally so. But it is also deeply hopeful. Calvary love is not something we manufacture. It is something we return to again and again, allowing Christ’s love to form us.

If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable reading devotionals that feel too gentle, this one may be exactly what your soul needs.
