John 10:17-18 (ESV)
17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”
Because Jesus did this, we can lay down our lives for Him and take it up again in the newness of life in Him. For this reason the Father loves us.
