• Matt 27:45 . . From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over
all the land.
What might we suppose went on during those three hours of thick darkness
around the cross?
The Romans whipped Christ to within an inch of his life, slapped him around,
crowned him with thorns, and drove nails into his palms and his feet. But the
hurt given to Christ by the Romans was merely a preliminary to the main
event.
When the darkness came; that's when God stepped into the ring; and the
gloves came off. By the time those hours of darkness lifted; Christ's own
mother would have trouble recognizing him. Jesus was so beaten and
bloodied beyond recognition that they could scarcely tell he was the same
man.
• Isa 52:14 . .There were many who were appalled at him-- his appearance
was so disfigured beyond that of any man, and his form marred beyond
human likeness.
The fact is: Jesus didn't chose the cross; his Father did.
• Luke 22:41-42 . . He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt
down and prayed: Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not
my will, but yours be done.
• Isa 53:10 . . But The Lord was pleased to crush him, putting him to grief
I have to wonder how ever a father could do something like that to his own
son; especially do that for a world that wouldn't even appreciate that the
injuries God personally inflicted upon His own son were for their benefit.
If God would do that kind of damage to His own son, what do you suppose
He has in store for skeptics in this day and age who mock Jesus and make
remarks about him? Well . .that's not too hard to figure out is it? Fair's fair.
At the very least, they will be beaten and bloodied beyond recognition, same
as he was.
» Mary Magdalena was in the audience that day and saw everything
(John 19:28). So it's no mystery to me that she didn't recognize Christ
right away in the cemetery seeing as how the last time she saw him he was
an ashen corpse, beaten and bloodied beyond recognition, crowned with
thorns (John 19:2), and virtually stark naked (John 19:23). The last person
on earth that Mary expected to encounter out at the cemetery was her
master all cleaned up, fully clothed, and alive and well because that was
definitively not the way she remembered him.

He wasn't, he had no choice as he already asked Father twice before it happened (Matthew 26:36-46).
And what he had faced was the force of legion who seek the correct time (Luke 4:13; Luke 22:53).
Cursed is that one who is hanged on a tree. Galatians 3:13

exactly my friend . This was all foreknown and pre destined .
He did all as was foretold . praise be to the glorious Lord . Let all who name the name of Christ praise the glorious King .
Biblically speaking....Heb 12:2 explains it .....” He endured the Shame Of the Cross for the Joy that was set before Him”
The Romans put Jesus on the Cross....Love kept Him there....
