Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus could have taken this opportunity to get away, to escape the horrible fate that awaits him. Jesus, in his conversation with Pilate could have talked his way out of the charges. Before the Jews he could have recanted his ministry and apologized for everything. At any time Jesus could have gotten away. In the end, though, he does not do that. In the end, even though he has every opportunity to get away, Jesus goes to the cross. And he goes to the cross because he loves us. Jesus could not see anything except us on the outside of heaven looking in. Seeing that Jesus went to the cross that we might be able to enter those gates. It is Jesus' love that sends him to the cross: Jesus' love for us, that we may be with him where he is. God bless you.
