Yeah. The thought of dying on the cross scared the crap out of him. That's why he was crying.

I don't know why God would be scared, but I guess that's my mortal mind thinking. God cries for mysterious reasons.

Yes
Bearing the guilt of our sins was the real scare.

Christ bore the sins of the human race in a very real sense, not just on paper or in theory. It's as though sin were literal filth, and the muck of the entire human race was smeared on Jesus's spotlessness. The effect was as though He was responsible for it, and it weighed heavily upon Him. This dirt of the human race and the separation from the Father was the real cross that Jesus bore, the cup that frightened Him. The death on the cross was the proof that He had accepted our burden.


The punishment part--physical pain, didn't frighten Jesus. Even the thought of the jeering crowds didn't bother Him.

Not sure if Jesus wept from fear of dying on the cross or taking on the world's sin upon his shoulders? But frightening non the less!

Yes, Jesus was frightened at times, he was mortal and had all the feelings that we have. If he had not been frightened he would not have asked God to take the task of being crucified away from him. " Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." Luke 22:42

The though of dying frightened him, but he knew that it was something that he had to do. It frightened him because he was truly a man also.

yes,Jesus was in human form after,he came down from heaven to save us.which means that, when Jesus walked our earth he humbled himself,by becoming human.God wanted to show that Jesus loved us so much, that Jesus was willing to experience everything sinners would go through,so believers can be reassured that, Jesus understands their sinful desires.of course,to die on a cross for our sins.so,yes Jesus experienced fear,but God's spirit kept his fear,a holy fear.there is a difference between a sinful fear and a holy fear.in other words,its normal to have natural fear of being poor,but if your fear controls you,than you don't trust God,and that can be a sin.
God Bless

Only saddened.

Why did Jesus cry? Surely not from physical pain--since he cried more when people rejected the words of G-- than any other time.

Surely he must be sad right now. But, his joy for rescuing a lost sheep overpowers all of that. He would go through it again and again just for one of us.

Yes. In the Garden of Gethsemane, where he prayed before being handed over, he prayed, saying, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done." He was also in so much agony over the fear of his impending passion, "his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground." Jesus was fully divine and fully human, and in his humanity he felt emotions like anger, fear and sorrow. One of the shortest verses in the Bible is "Jesus wept."

Nothing frightened Him. I believe He was upset because of what He had to do.

He was sad, and didn't want to let them kill Him, but He knew it was what He had to do, and loved us so much He did what He least wanted to do. So in a way, He was frightened...
