For me the cross can prove one of two things. Either God is a bloodthirsty killer or the complete opposite.
One view is that God killed Jesus in order not to have to kill us.
An alternative view is that God allowed us (people) to kill God himself in the person of Jesus so that God himself could reciprocate with forgiveness and grace thereby proving he is the exact opposite of a bloodthirsty killer.
God demonstrated his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
