Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus willingly gives up his life. When he dies, we are told, he bows his head and gives up his spirit. No one forces him to go to the cross. Jesus chooses the cross, and he chooses it for our sake. Jesus could have gotten away, he could have escaped. But instead he chooses the cross, and he goes there for you and for me. Jesus' love for us is so great he does not want to be in heaven without us. Remember that Jesus chooses the pain and shame of the cross because he loves us so much. He is not forced into it, he is not tempted by escape. Instead he chooses the pain and humility of the cross for us. God bless you.
