No, the night of his death he asked "if this cup could be passed from me, yet not as I will, but as you will." Neither Jesus nor his father had a death wish-death is spoken of as an enemy in the Bible. When mankind fell into sin, God immediately acted to put in place the remedy by proclaiming the first prophecy in the Bible, found at Genesis 3:16.

Death is only a misunderstanding. Jesus proved this, but no one noticed because organized religion focuses on his death rather than on his resurrection. The crucifixion is such a fertile ground for them to grow guilt they can’t resist focusing on it. The crucifixion is not the true message here the resurrection is. Try to understand this
Jesus showed us through his resurrection that we are in truth spirit, that the body is only a temporary vehicle that enables understanding that would be difficult for spirit to access from its true state. This transition we call death is itself misunderstood and is the source of great fear due to this misunderstanding.
Death is not the door to oblivion as we have been taught to think of it in western mythology. It is simply spirits exit strategy from the idea that it is a physical body. An exit into a far more desirable reality for spirit I might add.
If you have trouble believing this think of it this way God is only love. Returning to this unconditional and all encompassing love is not a moment of stark terror. Rather it is seen as a long overdue homecoming. Love and blessings.
Your brother.

I asked this same question the other day. I can't seem to get a straight answer from christians. Some say that god made him do it for the good of humanity, others say that Jesus wanted to do it. But if god made him do it, isn't that the same as murder? And if Jesus did it voluntarily, isn't that the same as suicide?

Jesus came specifically to die for our sins.
I doubt he had a death wish, but he knew what he came here for.

Yes, it was to prove the existence of God and God's true word to humanity. Unfortunately, we didn't get it. His wish was to show His love for us all. He could have easily stopped His torture and death, but did not, out of love for the world.

Yeap. It was to forgive those who did not know what they were doing and to save all mankind from the throes of sin, death, imperfection and for us to finally have the opportunity to have a close relationship with his heavenly father [ YHWH, ELOIAM, JEHOVAH, DIOS ].

No. That is the reason he went to the Garden of Gethsemane and prayed that the Father would let this cup pass from him. Finally telling the Father it is not my will but yours.

NO, He asked His Father that if was His (Gods) will that He (Jesus) be spared (flesh talking) the whole sacrifice thing (normal human response).

I don't think He wished for death, but He knew it was His necessary destiny.
