Jesus was not forced to go to the cross

Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

Jesus Voluntarily Went to the Cross

Now those people who try to argue and say that Jesus was somehow suffering child abuse because the Father sent Jesus to the cross. Well, one thing they show is they really don't know the scriptures all that well.

Because what we end up seeing is the fact that Jesus went to the cross voluntarily. That's right, that's exactly what we see in the scriptures. In Luke chapter 9 verse 22, Jesus says in that verse saying, The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

Jesus knew exactly what he was doing. He could have even said before Pilate, when Pilate says, Do you answer me nothing? And Jesus ended up saying, He has the authority to call down legions of angels.

But that's not what he's going to do. He says to Pilate, You can do nothing but what the Father allows. And so he knew this was his mission. Jesus voluntarily went to the cross. It was not child abuse and ultimately, the reason it's not child abuse is because of a logical fallacy that we'll see next time.

And that is that Jesus isn't a son the way we think of a son.
