As Ive read the lesson I came to realized that we can do sacrifices for ourselves just to be able to save our brothers from sin and there is always a reward if we follow the will of God, that by being wih Him in heaven.

Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)
NO, JESUS was not trying to incite his death, He has endured the physical , emotional torture and distress because He was an obedient Son of God. He did everything according to the will of His Father.

Jesus did nothing of His own accord. He was simply following His Father`s instructions. He could have turned a blind eye to certain events, or kept quiet, but that is not what His Father intended. He was the perfect Son.

No, Jesus was not trying to incite His death. This will come to pass as is in The Word of God.

No Jesus was only giving us the facts about what we read today in the many different bibles. The word of God

For the past 3 years in His ministry, Jesus had by many means ''stories, parables, miracles, speeches'' tried to give the people the god message of the Love God. But people were afraid to accept Him and follow Him due to fear of the leaders. So Jesus openly accused the leaders in front of the people, so that people will believe He is above all the leaders ''some even wondered, but failed to believe in Him, as we sometimes do''. So Jesus was trying His very best to do his mission.

Jesus did not incite his death, that was why he was humble to die, even when he has all the power to resist all that was done to him.

I think Jesus was aware of his fate, and just continued doing what he was supposed to do here on earth. Even if by doing so will lead to his eventual execution.

Jesus` Final Week
So, as per the events of Jesus` final week, it seems that the film Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson was more or less accurate of what has transpired from the day He was arrested to the day he was crucified. One can imagine the physical pain Jesus experienced to the Romans when he was being tortured, just for all mankind to be saved. But the more painful to His the emotional agony, the feeling being betrayed despite what He has done to the people during that time. I hope I can be able continously accept Him as my personal Savior and also for my wife, who has recently underwent two major operations. Though she is not healed yet, we are sure that Jesus was on her side during the operations and until now, as we keep on praying to Him to heal her very soon. God bless you all!

No. he was sent here to do a job and that was what he did.. He came here to save us from our sins..Father God knew what was going to happen to his son. Did Jesus Know, I think he did..he knew what his pursose on earth was for.
