Hmm...did Jesus get cancer, m.s., heart defects, etc?....NO. He did not come to suffer anything. His death was over with in 3 hours rather than like some humans who suffer for years on end. Dying for these people would be merciful. I believe Jesus' mission was a political one that he mixed with religion...and at the same time he tried to make himself fit the role of the awaited messiah.

Jesus has been around the same length of time God has been around. Jesus came as one of the angels that visited Lot. Jesus was also the "Angel of the Lord" before he took human form. Old age? Are you kidding? The Trinity---the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit --- are omniscient and omnipotent. They know all, see all, and understand all because they created all.
If you create a model car, don't you know every part, every piece, every inch of that model car? Then how can you think that God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit doesn't know every inch of you? They created your physical form and your spiritual form. God knows how many hairs you have on your head. "Doesn't a child know his father's voice?" If you are a child of God you know your Heavenly Father's voice, and He knows his child's voice.
Jesus was not sent by God so he could suffer the physical events that happen with humans. John 3:17 tells us that God sent his son into the world not to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved." That's why Christ was sent.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." That's why God sent Jesus.
Jesus didn't have to experience old age. He was already as old as the ages~!

Jesus Christ did not come to live a long life on this earth. His purpose was to fulfill the will of God. That is to provide Salvation to mankind through His sacrificial death and resurrection. That done, He left for heaven, having finished His mission on this earth. Living to a ripe old age, having a family and suffering the loneliness of old age was not on the agenda of God. This thinking and our thinking is different.

Well, lets take it on trade, I'll be happy to suffer old age since he suffered Scourging at the pillar, humiliation of the crown of thorns, his ripped skin stinging under the sweat and the rough weight of his cross, before being nailed to it and left in the hot desert sun untill he died. Old Age? Walk in the park.

I think dying by being nailed to a cross is pretty harsh and makes up for a lot of suffering he may have gone through if he had lived to an old age.
The biggest thing to remember is that he was hung despite his innocence. He had done no wrong.
Think of the men you have heard of who have been in prison and maybe even executed for no reason. Imagine their suffering.
Now think, if they had been tortured, stripped, publicly humiliated and force to carry their own death instrument to their final site. Has anyone else ever done this?
HE SUFFERED ENOUGH FOR ME. I AM SO THANKFUL.

He already had suffered much, friend. What else there was remained to suffer still more to wait for old age ?

Old age and the sufferings which come with it are the result of sin and spiritual death, not something independent of it. Jesus suffered the penalty of sin, i.e. death. That is what sin brings.

Jesus didn't come to suffer everything humans suffer. He came to pay our penalty for sin.

That is the one question I must admit I have never herd.
He came he live and he died for all our sins. And He lives again at the right hand of the Father interceeding for us all. (He is God in the flesh and will never grow old.) Just believe and you and I will see him and ask him this very question together.
God Bless and keep up the Good fight of faith.

he come to suffer so our sins will be forgiven. not to suffer human sickness or old age. It is best to wait until you die, then ask Jesus in person.
