God Steps Aside

Matthew 26-28

Jesus said, “My friend, go ahead and do what you have come for.” With those words, the Son of God who had more than twelve legions of angels at his disposal (more than enough to handle the pitiful few gathered against him) allowed himself to be taken captive. Though it cost his son's life... though he wants something so much better for us... though it grieves his heart, God is willing to step aside and allow us to have our way.  Beware the soul who chooses to go it on his own.
