Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul had a couple chances to get out of the trial and suffering he endured. All he had to do was deny his faith and toe the line. And as we witness Paul 'not getting out of it,' I'm reminded of the fact that Jesus had a couple of chances to get away, too. He could have asked God to get him out of it; he could have ran away at the garden; he could have talked his way out of things before the Sanhedrin, Pilate, or anyone else. Jesus could have gotten out of it all, but he did not. He went through the pain, the suffering, and humility of the cross for our sake. Jesus loves us so much he went to the cross for us. He had chances to relieve himself, but his love for us is too great. God bless you.
