The devil and his followers attempted to foil his redemptive act; but this malicious being failed before Christ’s mighty love. It was neither Caiaphas, nor Pilate, nor any other who impelled him to die; it was he who resolved to die. He did not flee at the sight of the wolf approaching him, but he offered himself to save us.
Kifo na ufufuo wa Yesu ndiyo miujiza mikuu ajabu; aliwaeleza mapema kwamba atakufa, ili aishi. Hakutolewa yeye kwa kulazimishwa, lakini kwa hiari kabisa, kwa sababu alitamani kuwaokoa wenye dhambi. Yeye ndiyo upendo kweli kweli. Baba yake alimkabidhi uwezo wa kuokoa ulimwengu, pamoja na uwezo wa kuchukua uhai wake tena.
