Christ suffered for you and left you an example, to have you follow in his footsteps. He did no wrong; no deceit was found in his mouth. When he was insulted, he returned no insult. When he was made to suffer, he did not counter with threats. Instead, he delivered himself up to the One who judges justly. In his own body he brought your sins to the cross, so that all of us, dead to sin, could live in accord with God's will. By his wounds you were healed.
- 1 Peter 2:21-24

O Lord our God, you are worthy
to receive glory and honour and power...

For you were slain;
with your blood you purchased for God
men of every race and tongue, of every people and nation
- From the book of Revelations

For our sake Christ was obedient, accepting even death, death on a cross!
