John 10:17-18 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”
It was God the Father's plan that Jesus would come to earth as a man and die in your place and mine to pay the price for our rebellion against Him.
But in the end, it was the choice of Jesus to go to the cross. He could have walked away, but He did it for you and me.
As someone has said, "He would rather die for you than live in heaven without you." Aren't you glad?
Praise Jesus!
