Christ died because He allowed it. Christ was and is God incarnate. Literally immortal. If He wanted, the nails and spear would have simply bounced off.
Christ could have called down an army of angels, just one of which wiped out all the first born in Egypt. We are talking power at a level humans cannot begin to comprehend.
He sacrificed Himself for our sins. We are not worthy of that sacrifice, but we can but try to accept and live up to it.
Just my view.
Sorry for the double "but"s. Better stated:
We are not worthy of that sacrifice. We can but try to accept and live up to it.
Adding:
Have faith. Pray.
Again, just my view. I'm no theologian.
“If He wanted, the nails and spear would have simply bounced off.”
I was telling my wife and daughter that. My wife disagreed - that because He was and is God, that He couldn’t disobey Himself. I try not to argue with my wife over such things (she knows more Bible stuff!).
But - if Jesus HAD to go through all of it, and it wasn’t His CHOICE to obey God - that in my mind makes it less of a sacrifice. If Jesus’ life and sacrifice was all just automatic - what meaning does it have?
Oh - and would Satan ever have even tried to tempt Jesus out in the wilderness if Satan knew that there was no way that Jesus would give in to Satan?
