In general anything we could legitimately wish from what might be colloquially referred to as a “good person” (actually a bad person, but filled with God’s goodness) would be the minimum of what we could expect the Lord to have done under equivalent circumstances. He wasn’t saved. He was the Savior.
Following an exact history, if it were possible, would be less edifying, not more. In Islam there are so many traditions about what Mohammed did here, what Mohammed did there. Even in the bathroom. By sticking to generalities, the bible avoids this treatment of Jesus. “What would Jesus do?” is answered by “How does God do it?” And the whole bible serves as that kind of character witness.
You are quite right.
And I apologize for any distraction I introduced. I am not exception to the need to learn where I must stop. God is awesome and the more we ponder His works, the more we see the awesomeness in it. God has not let there be any shortage of BAD examples in the world, so we can see where we might be if it were not for His grace.
