He laid down His Life, Willingly

No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." John 10:18.

Does this text tell us something about the unique ability and right given to the Son of God to "lay down his life". Jesus had the ability to "lay down his life". He did not die because of sin, but he "lay it down" willingly.

He also has the power to "take it up again". Resurrection power is granted by command of the Father to the Son. He alone has the power to lay it down and take it up again.

Christ is all!
