By suggesting that Jesus feared to torments leading to the cross they shift the focus of Jesus’s real theme of deep despair. Post Reply

That cup signified the wrath of God against guilty sinners. God hates sin and has promised to judge it. Jesus became the sin bearer of the world. Contrary to charismaniac teaching, Jesus DID NOT become a sinner‼️‼️‼️It’s blasphemous to say, like Kenneth Copeland and others do, that Jesus became a sinner and suffered in hell. Jesus was ALWAYS the perfect SINLESS Son of God and a sinless man who innocently, like the spotless sacrificial lambs under the Mosaic law, bore the sins of guilty sinners‼️‼️ Post Reply

(Luke 12:4-5) Obviously, the cross was unpleasant for Christ. Yet he says to pick up your cross and follow him. Jesus said his yoke is easy and his burden is light. Paul spoke of our short and momentary afflictions. We did not bear the sins of the world on a cross. I don't know how it is to bear the weight of the sin of the world. Jesus was the first fruit of creation. He was with the Father all his existence, and at the moment on the cross, God forsook him. He had a special relationship with the Father, and for a moment, his dad turned his back on him and let him go something alone. Together they created the heavens and the earth and all that God did, he did through Jesus. A special father and son relationship. Jesus had not known being separated from God before that. So, he got to feel the separation for a moment. We bare that every day - a feeling of separation from God that we hope Christ will mend. We get a taste of separation. But how does one fathom what Christ went through on the cross? How does one fathom the grief and the sweating of blood and the being flogged and a crown of thorns being pressed down upon your head and bearing the weight of the sin of the world and being separated from the Father after being with him your whole existence? I don't know how it was but it had to be UNPLEASANT FOR HIM. Post Reply
