From Of First Importance:
“Who delivered up Jesus to die? Not Judas, for money; not Pilate, for fear; not the Jews, for envy; — but the Father, for love!”
- Octavius Winslow, quoted by John Stott in The Message of Romans (Downers Grove, Ill.; Inter-Varsity Press, 1994), 255.
From Gene Veith's blog Cranach:
Why Holy Week is Holy
“For we call this Holy Week not just because of the holy things that happened, or because of the Holy One they happened to--but because this is the week that makes you holy.”
"Besides, no matter how powerless you are, no matter how low, no matter how tired and weak and piled upon, you will never be at the bottom of the pecking order.
That spot is reserved for one person: Jesus."
Both quotes by Rev. James Douthwaite
