Bible Commentary

John 12:27

Jesus was fully human — He felt the weight of what was coming. Yet He did not run. He faced the cross because He chose it. His love was stronger than His fear.

Memory phrase: Jesus chose to face the cross.

Talk about it: How does it help you to know Jesus felt troubled but still obeyed?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for not running away from the cross.
