Today we celebrate the death of Jesus. Not that He died, but what He did for us in His death. It was a road that Jesus had to choose for Himself. God didn’t make Him go to the cross. Jesus knew all along that He would have this option put before Him. But He didn’t choose it until He came to grips with it in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus went to the cross with joy, knowing that He would fulfill God’s plan not only for His life, but the lives of every human being. When is the last time you did anything as spectacular? Jesus said greater things shall you do, because I go to my Father. So, if we are going to do greater things than Jesus, what are they? He said that greater love has no man, than to lay down his life for another. He also said, I am crucified with Christ daily, and that I will pick up my cross and follow Him. Jesus also said, that I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. It is a day to celebrate, not that Jesus died, but He set us free to serve God. And Jesus chose to walk down this path. What will you choose today? Will it lead to the saving of your household? Remember that there is no greater love than a man lay down his life for another.
