John 10:18 "No one takes it from me (His life), but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
What struck me: As Jesus was talking about His death, He was very clear about what was going to happen. He was going to voluntarily lay down His life and voluntarily take it up again. This is the power of God. No other human being could ever say this. I could not lay down my life and then take it up again. I can only lay it down. That's the difference between Jesus and all of us.
Spacepets:
Truth to believe: This is one of the statements where Jesus again reveals His true identity. He’s not just a man. He is fully the son of God.
