Why Did God Send Jesus When It Caused Jesus So Much Suffering?

Yesterday, we focused on the forgiveness we were Blessed with through the Coming of Jesus.  One stumbling block a few people experience in accepting that forgiveness, is they wonder why our Father would allow Jesus to suffer so much on our behalf?  So let’s clear that up ?

First, our Father may have sent His only Son, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” – John 3:16,  but Jesus also wanted to Come; for He loved us too!  God sent His only Son, but He did not send His Son Jesus against Jesus’ Will.  Jesus loved us. He wanted to Save us.

Second, God is always Fair.  Which means God is always Just, “Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.  When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.  But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.  Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.” – Ezekiel 33:17-20

Because God is equally Merciful AND Just, He wanted to find a way for those who wanted to be forgiven-to be forgiven.  And yet, the sins that had been committed needed to be paid for.  And that is why Jesus Came, to pay the price for our sins, so that we wouldn’t have to.!  He loves us that much!  And so does our Father 🙂

Sometimes, it’s hard to think which was harder, Jesus suffering on the Cross, or those who loved Him so, watching Him suffer on the Cross.

We are indeed Blessed, to be loved so much, that all of the suffering on our behalf was deemed worthwhile.  Our path is a comparatively easy one, we just need to accept Jesus’ Great Gift ?
