•Jesus believed in the same God___ who was believed in__ by Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and all the prophets (peace &blessings of the LORD be upon all of them).
According to Jesus, God, the Holy One; is the Saviour of the Whole mankind. God is capable (be God glorified as God is) to relive off every infliction. None of the human beings is saviour beside God. Jesus, himself is also, not a saviour at all. The people who have chosen him as their saviour__ they have denied the Holy One___ who alone is the saviour of Jesus and whole mankind and the act of choosing Jesus as saviour__ is equal to hate the Holy One___ as it is clearly written in the old Testament:-
“I am the Lord your God. Worship no God but Me. Do not make for yourself images of anything in heavens or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it. Because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me, on their descendants, down to third and fourth generation.”
(Exodus 20:1-5)
Now, ponder over the point that whosoever says that Jesus is God___ Holy Spirit is God___ Mary is God; has he not made an idol beside the One God? While nothing is there in the earth and heavens which could be considered in terms of the One God.
Beware please! A father is a father__ a mother is a mother___ and a son is a son__ and they all are the creatures of God. They cannot be considered as God___ as god is their Creator__ and nothing is like the Lord.
•Creatures of God are God’s Creatures they can never be considered as God or as the parts of God. Same is the case of Jesus who is a creature and, as such, can not be considered as God or a part of the Creator or the son of Creator.
•Jesus is not a Saviour. He is not capable, even, to save himself from his enemies. How he can be considered “All-Able” to save everyone on the earth. It is the Lord alone__ Who is the All-Able to save every creature of the universe including the mankind__ as the Lord is already saving__ each of them__ without any desolation and defect.
Jesus was born after Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Moses and the numerous other Prophets (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them). If he were the Son-God, then, all of the foregoing Prophets, must have been the believers of Trinity. But the case is not like that at all. None of them was the believer of Trinity, rather, none of them, had, even, heard about the name of Trinity, in their times. Hence, Trinity is nothing else but an invented and artificial concept which has no existence, even, during the time of Jesus. It is, therefore, a rootless concept from all accounts.
God gave life to Jesus through God’s commandment as God___ not as father. Before Jesus, God had given life to Adam without father and mother, the both. Jesus and Adam are signs of God’s unique creativity__ and that is all. No more or no less__ are the meanings of their birth at all.
Beware please, it is an old and well known law of the Lord that___ the Lord reveals the truth__ in open and decisive terms. Looking upon the miracles of Jesus__ the people were considering Jesus as the greatest magician. While hypocrites were calling him, even, the Lord and Saviour. Although Jesus did criticize such thoughts and notions but the notions remained in rapid progress. So, it became eventually essential that___ the actual status of Jesus should be demonstrated__ before all__ in the most open & visible terms. So, the Lord withdrew the miracles and the miraculous power of Jesus and rendered him into an ordinary man. The actual status of Jesus was, as such, demonstrated on the cross before everyone openly.
Whereafter, Jesus was no more a supernatural creature or the Lord and the Saviour. Instead, he was simply a common man. Who was not independent in any respect. He was rather totally dependant upon the Lord, in all respects.
The prayer of Jesus on the cross (the Psalm-22) also, signifies that___ in presence of sponsorship from the Lord__ an ordinary man may become so glorified and sublime that__ he is entitled as “Spirit of God” and “Word of God”. But when the sponsorship is withdrawn by the Lord__ then the man deteriorates__ even from his common status of a man___ and becomes worthless___ like a despised worm.
The trial of Jesus on the cross__ might have been withheld by the Lord___ but the two particular things necessitated it’s happening in essential terms:-
•The miraculous birth of Jesus was a sign of the Lord’s unique creativity. Whereby the people had to strengthen their faith in the Lord and the Lord’s Almightiness but they failed to do so. Instead, they lost their faith in the Lord and the Lord’s Al-mightiness and began to say Jesus as son-god and the Lord.
•Right from the beginning, it is an objective Law of the Lord that__ whenever Monotheism is diminished or overlapped by Polytheism___ the Lord cuts away the overlapped coverings of Polytheism and unveils Monotheism__ in the most obvious terms.
So the Lord did the same on the turn of Jesus. The Lord, rightly put Jesus under the trial of suffering and made the people understand that Jesus was not God or the Lord or the son-god. Nor he was a Saviour, instead, he was a man and Messenger of the Lord. Who, practically preached the Message of Monotheism, even on the cross.

He wasn't suppose to save himself.
As the lamb of God, he took the role previously held by the lamb sacrificed on the alter in the Most Holy of the Temple. This was the covenant God had with Israel. In the Temple, once a year, a lamb had its throat cut, so that its soul can drain out on the ground, than the flesh was to be destroyed by fire, so that the sins of Israel could be forgiven. It was a ritual to remind Israel of their role as God's People on Earth at the time.
With Jesus, he took the place of the lamb, and as a perfect human being, he represented the first man who allowed sin to enter the world (which means people, not planet).
He had to die to become the final sacrifice, to give not only Israel, but all humans, the chance for forgiveness of the sins. Like the lamb in the temple, his soul had to be poured out upon the ground, than after being buried, and his wrappings were removed, rolled up, and placed at the foot of the pedestal, his flesh was destroyed, sometime during the three days. There was no shroud. When he was resurrected, everything that he was, all his knowledge and experience, became an immortal spirit being. This was an example of one of the two types of resurrections that will take place after Christ becomes King and sits on his Father's throne, with his second presence in the "world."
He was not meant to live his life on Earth. He had a greater purpose in Heaven, after his resurrection. Also, other than what he had been told by Joseph and Mary, he had no knowledge of his previous existence until he was baptized and blessed by the Holy Spirit.
Upon his death, the great curtain, made of spun gold, that completely covered the Most Holy, tore open, to show that God's Holy Spirit no longer resided with Israel, and that they no longer had to was his people. They had given it up. Christians became the New Israelites, to carry forward with his word, but less than 50 years after the death of Christ, they began going back to their old ways. According to the Apostle Paul, he thought all his work had been for nothing, because they were again observing the holidays and rituals of men, such as celebrating birthdays and memorializing the dead.

Did you know that the Bible predicted you?
Matthew 27:40-44 "'Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!'
"In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 'He saved others,' they said, 'but he can't save himself! He's the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, "I am the Son of God."' In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him."

If Jesus had 'saved' himself, His presence on Earth would have been pointless.
Sacrifice is an act of selflessness.

Jesus could have had thousands of angels come to his rescue if he wanted but he sacrificed his life so we are able, if we choose to, to spend eternity with him in heaven. He saved us by grace and mercy. We didn't deserve to be saved but God is loving and merciful.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16

It wasn't the fact that he couldn't save himself..It was the fact that he became the "sacrificial lamb". He didn't want to die...He went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray and he prayed "not my will but thine..."
It was prophecied that God would send someone to pay the price that we could not afford.
Because of the fact that he became the Sacrifice for our sins...he is now petitioning for us.

Glad you asked this question.
Without the shedding of blood, this will not be redemption of sin, but he conquered death by rising from the grave on the 3rd day.
He is Alive!! Glory to God, the Almighty One!!

You are missing the point. Jesus could have saved Himself--but he needed to die. He was destined to do that. He SACRIFICED his life to set us free. Get it?
