We Christians exult in this, that Christ, true God and man, suffered of his own will gladly. He did not wish to exercise his might, and his adversaries were not able to prove him guilty. What he did, he did for our sakes, so that he might break the stranglehold which sin, death, and the devil had on us. - Blessed Martin Luther, Homily for the Passion, *House Postils* p. 402
