Good Words for Today: November 13
Jesus laid down his life (John 10:17-18). Were the Jewish leaders guilty? Yes. Were the Roman rulers complicit? Yes. Did the soldiers nail him to the cross? Yes. But if Jesus had not laid down his life, a thousand centurions could not take it from him. Pilate condemned him to die, but Pilate did not kill him. He died as a voluntary sacrifice, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God.
