Matthew 20:17-19

[Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time]

Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”

This was the verse of the day from BibleGateway.com.

This just shows how awesome our Lord and Savior is... He endured all of the pain, the suffering, the tormenting, the ridicule, the punishment so that our sins would be forgiven. He endured all of these things that he never deserved so that our souls would be saved. Who are we to not thank Him for allowing us to have salvation and eternal life? Who are we to not appreciate Him for his unconditional love and selflessness?
