There was no identity crisis in the life of Jesus Christ. He knew who He was. He knew where He had come from, and why he was here. And he knew where He was going. And when you are that liberated, then you can serve.
~Howard Hendricks

Jesus asked the Father for his disciples' security, sanctity and unity. Jesus still intercedes for us so fervently because we live in a world that is deceived, dangerous, defiled and divided.
~Warren Wiersbe

It wasn't a potential atonement actuated by the sinner, it was an actual atonement initiated by the Savior.
~John MacArthur
