Jesus made a decision to lay down His life. He didn’t have to do it. He made the conscious choice to love. It was His decision to make.
“…I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again,” (John 10.17-18).
I am faced with a decision to love others in His name. If I am called to love, I must become a decision-maker and make the decision to do so.
