How that come Christ is my savior but he couldn't save his own life?

Answer 1

He could have

But if He did, He wouldn't have died for your's and my sins.

He made that choice

Answer 2

He could but he chose not to. Anyway he is supposed to be your spiritual saviour noy your physical saviour..........

Answer 3

Because he wanted you to live to be able to say what you just said & to give you a choice.

Answer 4

You don't get it. It isn't "couldn't" save His own life, it is "didn't" save it. He chose to lay it down for a specific purpose that His Father set before Him. In the Bible it even says that He "yielded up His spirit" - fancy talk that means He let go and died.

Jesus did the scariest, toughest thing anyone ever did and He did it for you and for me. He took our punishment, He paid our "debt". He loved us enough to die in our place - all sin is spiritually a death sentence.

If you actually want to know Jesus and talk to Him about any of your questions, all you have to do is simply ask Him. He would love to communicate with you. I started asking Him things when I was 18 years old. He and I have had a relationship ever since then. I'm so glad we do have this relationship, it means everything in the world to me!

Happy New Year. I hope this is a wonderful year for you!

Answer 5

What you're asking was asked by observers at the crucifixion itself, according to the Gopsel of Matthew. People passing by shook their heads and said "save yourself, if you are the Son of God". They, as well as many of the officials present, told Him to prove He is God and "come down from the cross!"

While the whole Bible essentially 'ramps up' to Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and resurrection following, I'll summarize the answer with reference to just Jesus and one other element of the Bible - Adam and Eve.

Adam and Eve failed to obey a fairly simple instruction. They weren't to eat from the fruit of one tree. To work more metaphorically, they were meant to remain ignorant of evil - to trust God to tell them which things are good, rather than go experimenting on their own.

Jesus calls on us to take up our own cross and follow Him. In other words, we are to suffer and sacrifice - be it in some very small way or very large way - in order to live out our purpose. Its very easy to say "I love you" or "I'm sorry" or "I promise" to someone; its a very different thing to carry out those words. It's harder to give up something for a loved one than to simply say "I love you". It's often much harder to make up for a mistake than to say "I'm sorry". Why? Because the action that follows the words involves sacrifice. It was easy to say "sure God.. nothing from that tree. Got it." It was much harder to actually resist temptation. With Adam and Eve as examples, how much hope do we have for ourselves? Like children, its tempting to point to Adam and Eve and say "but *they* didn't follow the rules either, why do *I* have to?!". ("But *they* get to have a toy, why can't *I* have one!")

Jesus was making the ultimate sacrifice - not just giving up His life but doing so in a painful, humiliating way - to lead by example. He was up on the cross to prove that obedience to God, even to death, can be done. He didn't have to "sacrifice himself to himself"; He had to sacrifice for us to not just "pay off" our sins but to show us that it was possible to be obedient to God. Adam and Eve couldn't follow a fairly simple instruction, but Jesus managed to obey the hardest one of all. Jesus, and many martyrs that followed him, proved that even the hardest sacrifice could be made for God.

Jesus could very easily have saved HIs own life. Being God, He could have done exactly what they said - come down from the cross and saved the pain and humiliation. But when did giving into temptation, rather than following God's will, get us something good?

Answer 6

HAHAHA holy smokes BATMAN!

Its clearly stated that no one person is responsible for another persons sin. The rest is lolly gagging babble they made up.
That is because at the last supper he told Judas to take the fall for him, and he left from that place and never to be seen again.
The rest is made up by King Constantine and his fellow evil Jewish friends that where around him and their bloodline is still here around us keeping this lie alive. AstugfarAllah Azeem... surely if Jesus was the last why then is the holy spirit still revolving from person to person?

Answer 7

@A2Z... if Jesus is the judge as we believe then YOU will be under the wrath of God. Jesus is God, not a prophet, Jesus died for us, God never trick us and swap him with Judas.

Now listen to this. you say there is no God but allah and Mohammed is his prophet.

So from that it says There is NO God save a "being" called Allah who has a prophet called Mohammed. That could be Satan couldn't it. Mohamed is not the prophet of the God of the bible so that statement says The God of the bible doesn't exist yet Allah claims to be the same God who wrote the bible. makes no sense.

i wish you the best of luck non-the-less.

Answer 8

He could, but He chose not to. Huge difference.

Answer 9

His life was that of surrender, not agression. "Turn the other cheek" was his motto.

But of course very few people are willing to accept that Original Christian message so all of that has been denied and forgotten by those who prefer a more agressive gospel.

If there is anyone who is interested in the Original Kingdom Gospel... here it is.

Answer 10

He was sent here to die for you and me. That was his purpose for coming.

Answer 11

He gave it willingly. If He wanted to, He could have called 10,000 angels to save Him and destroy Jerusalem. But He decided to die to give us a chance to miss hell, and spend eternity with Him.
