English Standard Version
Jesus, ever in control until the end, gives up his spirit. He chose to die for you -- it wasn't the nails or the torture or the spears of the Romans that caused his death. It was a choice, even there -- that's his love for you. There were so many other choices, but he chose death, because love is the only option for God.
I don't think we marvel often enough at the life and death of Jesus. Maybe we've heard the story too many times, or maybe we're just so caught up in what we're doing in the here and now. It's an incredible thing, someone choosing to die for you. If someone did that today or tomorrow, perhaps pushing you out of the way of a moving car and taking your place, it would change your life.
How does Christ's death change your life today and every day? He laid himself down so that you might live forever. It should impact us, heavily, every day.
