Paragraph 2. JESUS DIED CRUCIFIED
606
The Son of God, who came down “from heaven, not to do (his) own will, but
the will of him who sent (him)”,413 said on coming into the world,
“Lo, I have come to do your will, O God.” “and by that will we
have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for
all.”414 From the first moment of his Incarnation the Son embraces
the Father’s plan of divine salvation in his redemptive mission: “My food
is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his
work.”415 The sacrifice of Jesus “for the sins of the whole
world”416 expresses his loving communion with the Father.
“The Father loves me, because I lay down my life”, said the Lord,
“(for) I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know
that I love the Father.”417
