According to Plan

How much does Jesus love you? And how do you know? In Matthew 26, we see Jesus moving steadily toward the cross—knowing exactly what was coming, wrestling in Gethsemane with the cup of God’s wrath, and then willingly embracing the Father’s plan. This familiar story of betrayal, abandonment, and agony is ultimately a story of love. As we behold Jesus, we see that His death was not an accident or a tragedy. It was the fulfillment of God’s plan from before the foundation of the world. Jesus died, according to plan, because He loves you.
