They took Him away
January 2, 2012
The Life of Jesus; read today: Pilate delivers Jesus to be crucified; John 19:16
Godbey: John 19:16. Therefore he then delivered Him to them that He should be crucified. Then they took Jesus and led Him away.
They took Jesus, He was lead away. I know the Bible does not lie, but is there a fib here? Could Jesus ever been taken away. That would mean there was some resistance, but we all know that Jesus gave His life willingly.
He was a man just like I was. I know that the humanity in Him cried out to live. The flesh I am sure wanted to continue. But He gave it all for me. I sometimes want my own earthly desires to be met, the humanity of my self crying out to get what I want.
In the end I must learn to be like Jesus, to let myself be taken to places I do not want to go so that the needs of those I love can be met.
Read for next time: Jesus carries the cross; John 19:17
