John 10:18
_ _ No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down myself: I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again — It is impossible for language more plainly and emphatically to express the absolute voluntariness of Christ’s death, such a voluntariness as it would be manifest presumption in any mere creature to affirm of his own death. It is beyond all doubt the language of One who was conscious that His life was His own (which no creature’s is), and therefore His to surrender or retain at will. Here lay the glory of His sacrifice, that it was purely voluntary. The claim of “power to take it again” is no less important, as showing that His resurrection, though ascribed to the Father, in the sense we shall presently see, was nevertheless His own assertion of His own right to life as soon as the purposes of His voluntary death were accomplished.
_ _ This commandment — to “lay down His — life, that He might take it again.”
_ _ have I received of my Father — So that Christ died at once by “command” of His Father, and by such a voluntary obedience to that command as has made Him (so to speak) infinitely dear to the Father. The necessity of Christ’s death, in the light of these profound sayings, must be manifest to all but the superficial student. |
John 10:18
I lay it down of myself — By my own free act and deed. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again — I have an original power and right of myself, both to lay it down as a ransom, and to take it again, after full satisfaction is made, for the sins of the whole world. This commission have I received of my Father — Which I readily execute. He chiefly spoke of the Father, before his suffering: of his own glory, after it. Our Lord's receiving this commission as mediator is not to be considered as the ground of his power to lay down and resume his life. For this he had in him self, as having an original right to dispose thereof, antecedent to the Father's commission. But this commission was the reason why he thus used his power in laying down his life. He did it in obedience to his Father. |
