Why did not the Father let the cup pass and spare Jesus the pain of the crucifiction?
Hello dear friends, the father couldn`t let it happen because Jesus came on the puporse and that it had to be fulfulled by him going on the cross .Therefore it was it God`s plan that Jesus goes on the cross and dies and after comes back with the key for both death and life.B`se remember all the prophets who had ever lived, no boday could buy the tender that Jesus bought by him going on the cross.There it had been intended by the father that Jesus comes on the cross to fulfill the mission.

The Father knew that it is the way he needed the salvation to come to the people by using his son as the passover lamb.

IT WAS NOT GOD`S WILL. DOESNT THIS MAKE ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS SEEM INSIGNIFICANT. IF THE FATHER LET`S HIS OWN SON DRINK THE CUP EVEN THOUG THE SON ASKED AND BEGGED HIM ON HIS FACE TO REMOVE IT, BUT HE DIDNT IT REMAINED. WHEN I FULLY UNDERSTOOD THIS IT MADE ME SEE MY PRBLMS LIKE NOTHING COMPARABLE. WHAT AN EXAMPLE WE HAVE IN JESUS CHRIST LORD OF LORDS KING OF KINGS. EVEN IN THAT HOUR WE CAN SEE THAT JESUS WAS ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE WILL OF HIS FATHER, ONLY THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM. ANOTHER THING IS THE GREEK WORD FOR IF IS SINCE. JESUS WAS`NT DOUBTING GOD`S ABILITY TO CHANGE THINGS .SO WHEN HE WAS PRAYING THAT IF IT IS POSSIBLE.... HE WAS ACCTUALY SAYING SINCE IT IS POSSIBLE..... CONFIDENT IN HIS PRAYER TO GOD ALL MIGHTY WHO CAN DO ALL THINGS. HE KNEW THAT IF IT WAS GODS WILL HE COULD REMOVE IT. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR HIM . AMEN

The Father will not do such a thing for He loved man. For the fact that the sands by which He first created man was defiled, yet He did created man watching the flash and the spirit who will dominate each other. Adam sinned and failed from that time till moses generation there was a plan for REDEMPTION when God did not found who was worthy, for this He was disappointed from man, be/cos He thought that man will redeemed man but all effort created for this was in vain. For this reason JESUS accepted to wear human nature for the redemption of man. This has finally arrived to its accomplishement how can God with-hold this opportunity? No God cannot do that for the son freely accepted to wear the crown.

This is God`s lesson to al of us, He has a purpose in every living been, and we know it. But the flesh is weak and we are by the flesh to feel fear of that purpose. It is Jesus through His sacrifice that we lear the lesson. Not be afraid and if we are KNOW that He is with us every step of the way. All the way back to Him. At the end the simple answer to this question to me is God thought of us and the world to come after Him after the crucifixion of Jesus. This very intimate moment between God and Jesus we know is the basics of our faith and the way that we pray, as we do when we talk to Him and pray to him. Jesus gave us the key: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire. . A M E N !!!!

1. The Father cannot denied Himself, if Abraham obey the God and willing to sacrifice his son for Him, why not God. He full of truth and He always keep His word even before Jesus came to this world. 2. Jesus know what he will go trough ''crucifiction'' and God will NEVER EVER let Jesus suffer the pain that He cannot take. We as human for sure cannot stand the caning from muscular Roman soldier; maybe after one whipping we beg for mercy and worst denied our God just to save our life. My point here is God will never let us go trough pain beyond our limits and Its already written in bible. Father let the cup pass and spare Jesus the pain of the crucifiction for us, for our salvation. Praise our Yahweh!

Well our heavenly father knew this was the reason his son was send to Jerusalem. To redeem us sinners from sin by Jesus Christ accepting the cup. Jesus knew what was going to take place and that is why he was sorrowful even after praying several times. But Jesus said not my will but your will be done heavenly father. So that is why his Father did not pass the cup away. Thank God! for his Mercy and Grace. We worship you O Lord for you are worthy to be praised. Praise the Lord!

Jesus was send for a purpose and that purpose must be fulfilled. If Father allowed the cup to pass over Jesus, there would have been no salvation today. For it has been said, that without the shedding of blood, there would no remittance for sin. Jesus shed that blood to carry away our sins.

Because if the father did that then sending his son to die for salvation will be of no use and moreover there wouldn`t have been any salvation for the children her created in his own image

Gethsemane

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray." He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled. Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."
He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."
He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, couldn't you watch with me for one hour? Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done." He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words. Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Arise, let's be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."
