* Jesus goes to the cross so the scriptures can be fulfilled.

 

Matthew 26:

And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and HE shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

***

Jesus was willing to die for the sake of the fulfillment of the scriptures.

We must care for the scriptures more than ourselves or our church groups or any other human.

If needed, we give up our lives with them in order to speak the scriptures.
