Why did not the Father let the cup pass and spare Jesus the pain of the crucifiction?
Because He loves us, that for us to be able to be reunited with Him, He was willing to let His Son die on the cross.

The Father let the cup pass because then our fight againt evil would have not been won. It was because of Jesus` crucifiction that our sins are fogiven.

Because there would have been no salvation for humanity His beloved children.Also points to the obeyance of Jesus: if YOU let it pass away, that is if it is not Thy will, but i humbly and sdeadfastly follow the path you set for me. He would have not opened the gates of heaven that way.Or better cleansed us of our impurities and showed us the way. Through his purification and with the same strenghtening example At first it strikes that the disciples are more afraid in a way. And not they fall asleep thinking no it wont ahppen Jesus dying ''although that word is never mentioned i read somewhere''. The Word Resurrection should be chiming in their ears already. But Jesus knew all that was to happen. Yet he si sorrowful and feels lonely. Ther disbelief? their not being with him in that night?his in agony and yet the words he pronounces are teachings and encouragement. Get on your knees and pray and ask for Stamina against temptations. So uplifting. I will keep his words in mind whilst taking the Eucharist today.:''

God loves us and he sent Jesus to die for us. If God would have let the cup pass the prophecy would not have been forfilled.

As Living Sacrifices, do we sometimes crawl off the alter, when the heat intensifies?

Why did not the Father let the cup pass and spare Jesus the pain of the crucifiction?
The decisive moment in the whole life of Jesus Christ was now at hand- to be God`s sacrifice for the atonement of the sins of the world. It was a do or die moment, as all the weight of sin and death was now upon him. I see a theological clash here, because God in the scriptures promised to grant us according to the desires of our hearts, if we pray earnestly to him. Here was the earnest Desire in Jesus` heart to let the cup pass away- which was not honoured afterall by God. Jesus knew it was God`s ultimate desire that he should drink that cup, that was why he Jesus did not push hard for his own desire. I think the lesson here is that God`s desire for us is paramount. He will grant us our desires, only if it was in agreement to His desire, otherwise not. Jesus was not spared the pain of crucifixion, coz God was still in full control of every step.

When God sent His only begotten Son to earth, it was for the sole purpose that He was to be given for the forgiveness of our sins. Had God let the cup pass, then He would have been reneging on His promise to us and God is a faithful God who never goes back on His word. Jesus had to drink of the cup for the scriptures to be fulfilled.

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."
