| He Went Forth |
| “And He bearing His cross went forth” (John 19:17). |
| Why did He go forth? |
| •He went forth in obedience to His Father:“I lay down My life … This commandment have I received of My Father” (John 10:17-18). |
| • He went forth in order to glorify God His Father: “I have glorified Thee on the earth” (John 17:4). |
| • He went forth in order to complete the work of atonement: “I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do” (John 17:4). |
| • He went forth so we could have full salvation and be brought into relationship and fellowship with the Father and the Son: “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13). |
| •Wonder of wonders, He went forth because He loved us:“Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor” (Ephesians 5:2). |
