| His Life |
“Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I
lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father” (John 10:17-18). |
| The Lord Jesus gave His life in a way that no one else ever could. As a divine person, the Son of God, He voluntarily gave up His life in obedience to His Father. What a sacrifice, and what love, first to God His Father and secondly to you and me. |
| Collectively, as the church of God, we rejoice in the fact that, “Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it” (Ephesians 5:2). Individually, we can say with the Apostle Paul, “the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). |
| At the end of the three hours of darkness, having taken the punishment for sin, we read, “And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit: and having said thus, He gave up the ghost” (Luke 23:46). |
