NO ONE MADE HIM

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"

Colossians 2:14
King James Version

Carrie E. Breck wrote the hymn "Nailed to the Cross". I'm so glad the words in this hymn are true. "There was One who was willing to die in my stead, That a soul so unworthy might live; And the path to the cross He was willing to tread, All the sins of my life to forgive."

No one could have made Jesus stay on the cross if He had wanted to come down. Ray Overholt wrote one of my favorite hymns "Ten Thousand Angels". "They bound the hands of Jesus In the garden where He prayed They led Him through the streets in shame They spat upon the Saviour So pure and free from sin They said, "Crucify Him He's to blame. He could have called ten thousand angels To destroy the world (the world) and set Him free He could have called ten thousand angels But He died alone (alone) for you and me."

Yes, no one made Jesus die for us. He died for our sins because He loves us. What a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth! No one loves you like Jesus loves you and nobody ever will. Thank God for Jesus and the unconditional love He gave us when He died on the cross for our sins.
