How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. (Hebrews 9:14)
There were powerful people who conspired against Jesus, but they were not the ones that put Him on the cross. Many enemies wanted to see Him dead, but it was not their will that won the day.
Jesus gave His life willingly on your behalf.
When you are confronted with your own inadequacies and sin, do not despair. When you are brought face-to-face with your failures, do not lose heart.
Remember that Jesus loved—and still loves—you exactly as you are, and that He loved you so much He was willing to die. As you dwell on this, may you be encouraged by this truth.
Jesus offered Himself for you.
