Jesus chose the cross and the truth rather than the lies of satan and evil men. Death comes to all of us, lucky for most our deaths will be quiet, in a hospital bed, surrounded by family and friends, quietly slipping into eternity. Jesus languished on his cross, mocked and hated as he forgave this who conspired against him. The essence of this is, Jesus chose the cross, he had several opportunities to turn away from the cross, he could have chosen the ways of Satan and evil men and been spared the anguish and pain of his horrific physical death, but it would have meant the death of his soul and we wouldn’t have found salvation. Thankfully most of us will never have to make such an obvious choice, our lives aren’t that stark, our choices that obvious. We live in relative comfort and peace for now, but the time is coming when we’ll have to make the choice between the Lord Jesus Christ and the works of Satan and evil men. I hope, for the sake of my soul that when the time comes for me to have to choose that I have the strength to choose Jesus and to spurn Satan. That time is coming to this country, we’ll be told to choose, we’ll be forced to choose, I pray that I am strong enough to make the right choice.

Jesus did die for them too, even if they choose notto accept Him and remain intheir sin/self wants.

John 3:6-8 New King James Version

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
