VOLUNTARILY

Today's reading: John 10-12

"No one can take my life from me. I lay down my life voluntarily..." John 10:18 NLT

I've heard it said that Pilate took Jesus' life.

I've sat under preaching where it was pontificated that the Romans killed Jesus.

I've listened to debates as to Judas' hand in the murder of Jesus.

But what I read this morning...

What I notice is written in red...

What I believe to be true...

Is that Jesus did it voluntarily for me.

For my sins.

For my eternal salvation.

For my place in heaven with Him.

No one made that choice for Him. No one forced the decision upon Him. No one coerced Him or pushed Him into it.

He did it for me.

And for you.
