The Cross from most angles looks like an act of injustice and unfairness.
Though the Cross of Christ may look unfair from most angles for Jesus the angle of being on the Cross was planned with a note of purposeful yielding.
John 10:17-18 "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. "No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father."
Jesus was confidently trusting the Father and was therefore surrendering control of His life into the Fathers hands.
I am ready to release My hold on life, and Im unafraid to do so because I am placing everything about Myself into Your hands.
Had it been you and I on the Cross, and it should have been, would we have been so easy to commit the what was happening now into Gods hands?
How about the what is happening now?To what is happening to us today unfair injustices and injuries can we commit our feelings, emotions, actions and words into the Fathers hands?If we cannot commit the now to God the Father how can we ever commit the forever into His hands.
