Christ's Willing Obedience

Commentators emphasize that Christ's declaration, "Lo, I come," signifies a cheerful and willing obedience. Unlike the animal sacrifices of the Old Covenant, Christ's mission was a personal, intentional act to perfectly fulfill God's will. His sacrifice was not a reluctant duty but a deliberate offering of himself to accomplish what the old system could not.
