Interesting point to ponder, one that theologians have grappled with for ages...was Jesus’ sacrifice courageous given that he was in the unique position of eternal salvation being a certainty without the need for faith?

No disrespect meant by the way - I’m just interested to hear other’s take on the nature of Christ’s sacrifice.

Good grief man, Jesus didn’t need salvation. He provided it. He was doing the will of God the Father. It had nothing to do with courage. He asked if “this cup could pass from me....)but he freely and willingly accepted what He came to do. To save our miserable souls. Not His. He always knew what His purpose was in coming to earth. No surprise to Him.
