Luke 22:42 "42“ Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him."
Next time we hear someone say, "God wouldn't want me to go through that", remind them that God didn't withhold His perfect Son who had no sin, to suffer and die for others even while they were still sinners.
Romans 5:7-9 "…7 It is rare indeed for anyone to die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!…"
Knowing that most of mankind would not receive Him, Christ went to the cross anyway for those who would choose Him. He desired that everyone come to Him, but knew most would not.
2 Corinthians 5:15 "15 And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again. "
