Why did God allow Jesus to get hurt?

Why did God allow Jesus to be hurt?


John 3:16 tells us that “God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”


We are all sinners and because of our sin, our relationship with God is broken. We deserve to be punished for our sin, but God allowed Jesus to take the punishment and to be hurt so that our relationship with Him can be restored. God allowed Jesus to be hurt because He loves us so much and wants us to live with Him forever.


Jesus said, “But I will do what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the Father.” (John 14:31) In John 14:6 we read that Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” Jesus knew it was the only way. Jesus willingly suffered and died so that we may have eternal life.
