Why would God allow Jesus to be crucified?

Answer 1

Is it unthinkable that God would allow his Prophet Jesus to suffer the shame and humiliation of being crucified? Not at all, for several reasons.

First, God has required other prophets to suffer for the good of the people. The story of Joseph (Yusuf) is familiar both in the Bible (Genesis 37-50) and Qur'an (Surah 12 (Yusuf)). Joseph endured a great deal of suffering he did not deserve. He was sold as a slave by his brothers. He was falsely accused by Potiphar's wife of seducing her (when actually it was she who was seducing him, but he rightly refused). Because of this false accusation against him, he was sent to prison. Joseph (Yusuf) did not deserve any of this (peace be upon him).

But God had a purpose for allowing this suffering. Because Joseph was in prison, he had the opportunity to interpret the dreams of two of Pharoah's officials who had been thrown into prison. These interpretations were accurate, and because of this, when one of these officials was restored to his job, he told the Pharaoh about him, when Pharoah himself was troubled by a dream he could not interpret.

Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream, and Pharaoh was so impressed with Joseph that he made him second in charge of Egypt. A time of plenty was coming, followed by a time of famine (which was the subject of the dream). Joseph was able to provide food to keep people alive throughout the area during the famine, because of his wise handling of the situation.

So we see that God allowed Joseph to suffer, but it was for a purpose, so that in the end he could be used to save many lives. Likewise, God has allowed Jesus to suffer unjustly, but for a purpose, so that he could save many from sin.

Second, God has prefigured the sacrifice and suffering of Jesus in an important event in the life of His esteemed prophet Abraham (Ibrahim). God tested Abraham supremely by asking him to sacrifice his son, whom he loved very much. Abraham's submission to God was so complete that he was willing to do this, and was about to do so, when God's voice from heaven stopped him, and God provided a ram for a sacrifice instead.

This event is very important for Muslims, celebrated every year at the 'Eid of Sacrifice. But do you know why God asked Abraham to do this? Not only to test him supremely, but to symbolize what God Himself would do 2000 years later when He sacrificed His Son Jesus, whom He loved very much, on the cross to pay for our sins. This important event in the life of Abraham is actually a picture for us of God's plan to allow Jesus to be crucified.

Third, it is not unthinkable that God would allow Jesus to suffer and be crucified, because God vindicated Jesus' honor and reputation through his resurrection from the dead. Muslims believe that to preserve Jesus' honor, God substituted someone else on the cross to die, while Jesus was taken up to heaven unharmed. But this was not necessary to preserve the honor of Jesus.

Jesus' honor was enhanced far more by the great miracle of his resurrection on the third day. This elevates Jesus above all other Prophets, for no other Prophet was brought back to life.

Answer 3

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Jesus was crucified that his blood would wash away our sins. Jesus was the sacrificial lamb.

Answer 4

A sheep can't remit sin, no longer even with tips from loss of life and turning out to be to be a fish fry. it could purely characterize the certainly sacrifice for sin. The punishment for sin is so terrible that a mortal can't bear it. He might faint, actually, and probable die suffering even for his very own sins. For Jesus to undergo the sins of all of God's human infants (wanting homicide and the sin against the Holy Ghost) he had to a minimum of have the skill to hold directly to his existence till the penalty were paid in finished. If we are in a position to have faith Luke's account, the discomfort replaced into so severe that Jesus bled from each and every pore. it is my information that human beings faint, bypass into marvel, and each so often even die till now they are in a position to bleed from greater effective than, say, the pores of their armpits as a effect of discomfort.

Answer 5

It was his purpose for being on Earth, he died for our sins, that was the plan all along and it was fulfilled just like God has a plan for each and every one of us, and that includes people who do wrong, and people who suffer horrible illness. He allows His plan to unfold just as He made it, we may not always understand why, but there is a meaning and purpose to everything that happens here, both good and bad

Answer 6

God allows every last one of us to die in lots of different ways.

Jesus' atonement was what God wanted to be able to save the rest of us, but ultimately Jesus could have chosen at any point not to die. He only had to lift His finger and legion of angels would have carried Him away. But Jesus himself chose to suffer and die for the greater good of us all.

Answer 7

He allowed Jesus to die for our sins that we may go to Heaven when we die. Read John 3:16 for reference.

Answer 8

Because Jesus is the human form of God, and God is a compassionate God, and He didn't want the whole world to go to Hell for their sins. He loved His creation soo much that He died for us and rose again that we might live with Him in Heaven.

Answer 9

John 3:16 teaches us: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16 means that God so loved all men. God saves His elect people in Christ Jesus, He saves the real organism of the human race. Many individual men go lost; but mankind is saved.

Answer 10

He died on the cross for our sins.
Jesus said "Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.
Father, glorify your name!"

Answer 11

Because this was the only way we could re-connect with God that's why also we have no excuses not to accept Jesus as our lord and savior.
