"Some people can’t believe God would create a world in which people
would suffer so much. Isn’t it more remarkable that God would create a
world in which no one would suffer more than he?
God’s Son bore no guilt of his own; he bore ours. In his love for us,
God self-imposed the sentence of death on our behalf. One thing we must
never say about God—that he doesn’t understand what it means to be
abandoned utterly, suffer terribly, and die miserably.
That God did this willingly, with ancient premeditation, is all the
more remarkable.
Jesus said, “I lay down my life for the sheep.... No
one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord” (John 10:15, 18)
