Oh @VickyK - Who's suggesting that Jesus was "fearful"???
He was under a tremendous amount of stress.....it was HEAVY.....He was breaking under the stress...NOT fearful. The angels came and ministered to Him and strengthened Him in the garden. He stayed the course, His LOVE was perfect because FEAR HAD NO PLACE IN HIM. Perfect love casts out fear.
Jesus asked His Father if the cup of suffering could pass from Him and if there was another way but, there wasn't so, because of love Jesus took the cup and drank it, saying, "not My Will but, Your Will Father be done."
When you describe the sufferings on the cross of Jesus, you only describe the physical pain and suffering.....He would be slaughtered like a lamb....as The Lamb of God...all His blood poured out, His body unrecognizable....
...and mentally mocked, spit on, Peter denying Him 3 times, the Jews against Him, the Gentiles against Him, the government against Him, the whole world against Him....Satan unleashed on Him, even God the Father placed His Hand on Him to transfer all the sin of the world upon Him (Jesus Christ) and then turned away from Him...
Jesus descended into the depths of Hell, to the very lowest part and endured even more sufferings unimaginable to us, experiencing all the sin of the whole world....yet, in the prison of Hell He preached the gospel of salvation to the spirits that were there in prison...
He took the keys of Death and Hell and unlocked the prison doors, setting the captives free, rising from the dead on the third day, ascended into Heaven into the Holy of Holies in Heaven pouring out His blood making atonement for the whole world....defeating Satan victoriously......He was able to raise others from the dead on the same day in like manner as Him (Jesus Christ) and were seen.....
NO HUMAN has ever risen from the dead with the Keys of Death and Hell.....NO HUMAN has EVER suffered what Jesus Christ has suffered to save the whole world.
Jesus Christ is the ONLY SAVIOR, LORD, KING and Lover of our souls! Amen.
