How do we know Jesus's sacrifice was voluntary?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus states in John 10 that no one could take His life from Him; He lays it down willingly as an act of obedience to the Father.

The sacrificial nature of Jesus' death is underscored by His own declaration in John 10, where He emphasizes His authority to lay down His life. This speaks to the heart of His voluntary sacrifice—unlike a victim, Jesus willingly accepted the cross due to His obedience to the Father's will, further affirmed by historical covenants within the Trinity. The acknowledgment that His sacrifice was intentional allows Christians to grasp the immense love and commitment underlying the atonement for sin, ensuring that His sacrifice was both perfect and complete, vital for the redemption of His people.
