Hi, Ngop! I believe that Jesus was offering a gift of love and forvigness to them (as the prayer He taught the disciples: "forgive us our trespass...". Jesus is God, but as the Son of Man, the Anointed One, He could not reveal all Truth nor could he disobey the Law. Remember, Jesus came to fulfill the Law. Everything pertenaining to Him had to be within the Law (i.e.: John the Baptist argument that Jesus should be the one to baptize him--Jesus responded that He had to fulfill the Law. Jesus was God, but John had to baptize Him in order to fulfill the prophecies regarding Joshua--the Lord's Anointed. Have you notice that Jesus called Himself the Son of Man, and not the Son of God? Some religious groups think that statement means that Jesus is a creature and not God. Another passage that seems confusing is Jesus stating that no one knew the date and time of the end of times, not even the Son of Man... Some groups believe that Jesus is stating that He does not know all, therefore He cannot be God (God Almighty)... I hope that I am not confusing you by using so many examples! What we must understand is that Jesus as the Mesiah did not come to give full wisdom. He came a the Lamb of God. And everything He said and did was to fulfill that particular part of the Divine Plan. Further, He promises His disciples that they would not be abandoned, that He will send another: the Paraclete, who will come in His Name and teach them everything and remind them of His teachings. As God, Jesus has all knowledge and all power. But as the Son of Man, God's only begotten Son, He must obey the Father and, by example, teach us to obey! Did Jesus give carte blanche to those who crucified Him? No! But He, as our Mediator, apealled to the Father to call them to Salvation. Did they listen to the Father's call. One day we may know! I truly hope that this has help you with your two part question. Feel free to drop another question or note! Maran atha! |
