Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Jesus could’ve spoken the word and the very iron in the nails would have crawled back into the earth.
He could’ve disbursed the molecules of His executioners with a single thought.
He could’ve called twelve legions of angels to rescue Him.
Matthew 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
But His love for sinners was too great.
Instead, He willingly took our sins upon Himself and died on a cruel cross in our place so believers like us would not perish but have eternal life. Unbelievers will parish.
What a Savior!
