“This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life so that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.”
John 10:17-18 CSB
Jesus’ obedience to God demonstrates His love. Further, Jesus has the ability to choose what He will do, God isn’t forcing Him.
We have the same free will and the same opportunity to receive love from God.
Secondly, Jesus is selfless in His actions, thinking about what would be best for others. We should imitate that as well…if we did, people would know we love them!
