Derrida, death & Love

In my recent reading, I came across this, and thought it was interesting, especially considering the source.

On what condition does goodness exist beyond all calculation? On the condition that goodness forget itself, that the movement be a movement of the gift that renounces itself, hence a movement of infinite love. Only infinite love can renounce itself and, in order to become finite, a become incarnated in order to love the other, to love the other as a finite other. This gift of infinite love comes from someone and is addressed to someone; responsibility demands irreplaceable singularity. -Jacques Derrida The Gift of Death.

This is particularly interesting because it essentially says that the goodness of God was not completely fulfilled until Christ sacrificed himself for us. Perhaps in a more orthodox way: God could not have made the claim to be Love if He had not incarnated as Jesus. The infinity of His love is proved only in the cross.
