John 9-10
Once again, Jesus escapes when the Jews are wanting to seize Him in order to kill Him. The time wasn’t right. I find it interesting that He had a schedule, known only to Him. The fact that He could easily escape their grasp demonstrates that when the time came, Jesus willingly gave up His life. Any reasonable person would say one would be a fool to not take advantage of some escape route when their life is in danger. When they came to arrest Him and take Him to the cross for crucifixion, Jesus could have escaped. He had the power to call fire down on His accusers! However, He chose to walk those streets, bearing the weight of the cross, after being beaten. It wasn’t the nails that held Him to the cross. It was His love for each and every one of us. He knew that the time was right for Him to become the sacrificial lamb, making atonement for our sins, so that we might have the hope of eternal life! Thank you, Jesus!
