Christ submitted to crucifixion, although the heavenly host could have delivered Him. The angels suffered with Christ. God Himself was crucified with Christ; for Christ was one with the Father. Those who reject Christ, those who will not have this man to rule over them, choose to place themselves under the rule of Satan, to do his work as his bondslaves. Yet for them Christ yielded up His life on Calvary. {FLB 50.4}

Kristus underlagde sig korsfæstelsen, selvom den himmelske hær kunne have udfriet Ham. Englene led sammen med Kristus. Gud Selv blev korsfæstet sammen med Kristus; for Kristus var ét med Faderen. Dem som forkaster Kristus, dem som ikke vil have dette menneske til at herske over sig, vælger at sætte sig selv under Satans styre, og gøre hans arbejde som hans slaver. Også for disse, opgav Kristus sit liv på Golgata.
