It was because of Christ's willingness to voluntarily give his life, that God was so delighted with him: "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life...No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself" (John 10:17,18).
Ilikuwa sababu ya hiari ya Kristo kujitoa uhai wake hata Mungu akapendezwa naye: Ndiposa"Baba anipenda, kwa sababu nautoa uhai wangu ili ni utwae tena. Hakuna mtu aniondoleye bali mimi nautoa uhai mwenyewe."(Yn. 10:17,18).
