Did Jesus commit suicide?

Jesus prayed, "Let this cup pass from Me if it be Thy will, but if not, Thy will be done."(Mat.26:39)

He made His choice then & there to die for us.

And he said in another place, "No man taketh my life from Me, I give it up of Myself!" (John.10:18).

He didn't kill Himself with His own hand. He did not commit that form of suicide, but He made a choice that He knew was about to bring His own death!

Nobody took His life from Him.

He told Pilate, "You couldn't even touch Me if God didn't let you!

I could just lift one finger & all the legions of Heaven would come & conquer all the legions of Rome & rescue Me if they had to!"

He said, "I'm laying My life down of Myself of My own will & accord. I am dying deliberately for this World & its sins & its sinners that they might be saved!"

He chose to die, He decided to die because it was the will of God to save you & me.

He chose death. He chose to be hurt, He loved us so much!

And He Himself said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."(John 15:13)

Jesus laid down His life for us!

And it was God's Love in Jesus that did it!
