How did Jesus respond to the situation of being given up for us?
God the Son responded to being given up for us by voluntarily giving Himself up of His own volition and becoming obedient to the death of the cross. His reaction was not resistance but submission, fulfilling the same pattern previewed earlier. He surrendered Himself willingly.
Les explains that the earlier account was a preview of how God the Son would react to the same situation. He gave Himself up of His own volition and became obedient to the death of the cross, showing willing submission rather than compulsion. Because of that finished work, no one can lay anything to the charge of God's elect, and no one can take us out of His hand. Les stresses that salvation is all what God has done, and true saving faith takes God at His word.
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
