The cross is not just something that happened to Jesus—it is something He willingly chose. Even in the face of suffering, rejection, and unimaginable cost, He stayed, laying down His life with full knowledge of what it would require. This means the cross is not merely a tragedy, but a powerful expression of intentional, personal love—given for each of us. Tonight invites us to slow down, reflect, and respond to the truth that Jesus knew us fully… and chose to stay anyway.
