Bible Question: Since Jesus did know he was God, then why would it have been such a struggle to sacrifice himself? My answer would be that he was fully human and He was fully God at the same time. It was the human side that would have struggled with the idea of being crucified and the God side that kept him focused. (I guess the same could be said for us) Is this something that can be backed up scripturally or is it more of a mystery thing? Or is there a better explanation? |
Bible Answer: That is true what you are saying. But, Jesus being God and man he knew that would feel the excruciating pain. Which was and is a struggle with the flesh. We also struggle everyday doing whats right and pleasing in the sight of God, and that's what Jesus did, but, he knew that he was going to suffer in agonizing pain. Reference scripture: (Psalm 22th chapter). If you read in the prophetic books of the prophets, you will learn that God spoke threw these prophets. As you read pslam 22th chapter you will notice the prophetic words that was spoken out of the mouth of David, are the same words that Jesus spoken and what occured during the crucifixion. The answer is; Yes, it can be backed up scripturally. #2. No, If you are a follower of Christ it is not a mystery; Eph 3:4 Whereby, when you read, you may understand the knowledge in the mystery of Christ. Col 2:2 That your heart might be comforted, being knitted together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement or (make known) the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ. "To you!" It is Given to you to know the mystery.(Luke 8:10) If you are a born again man NOTHING SHOULD BE MYSTERY to you. All ways remeber that in your studing. You are on the right track, don't worry, your wisdom and knowledge will come as your study. 2Tim study and show yourself approved unto God, rightly dividing the word of truth. I pray that you receive the knowledge and wisdom to understand the word of God. Here's a web site. www.blueletterbible.com any questions my email is ministerhudson@hotmail.com |
