In every action you take/make, there is but a price to pay. If I do one thing at a particular time, that means in that moment, I am choosing that one thing over the compendium of other things I could be doing at that moment. It puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?
If I choose to sleep in, I am choosing to not start my day earlier and put off simple tasks for later, when I will most likely be tired and less willing or happy to be doing them. If I choose to practice for a few solid hours straight, I am saying that my practicing for that chunk of time is more important or of a higher priority than anything else I could be doing. If I choose instead of going out on a Saturday night to stay home and pray, it means I value impacting the spiritual atmosphere more than I do about having a good time. If I choose to date a particular girl for a length of time, I am saying ‘no’ to those countless others (however few or many there may be).
Jesus, the son of God, the one who lived in absolute purity, chose submission to His Heavenly Father (God), and to die a death of defilement so that we might have a chance to be redeemed. He took on sin and death and emerged victorious.
He made a choice. He could have said no. He could have rebelled.
