Barton Jahn How would anyone other than God write a life-script for Jesus Christ that gets a perfect person…living a perfect life…all the way to the cross?

How can Jesus be the blemish-free Passover Lamb of God…having no sin…and yet be rejected and crucified as the atoning sacrifice for mankind’s sins…according to the ancient prophecy of the ram caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah (Gen. 22:8) and Isaiah 53?

Common, ordinary, worldly good-sense says that if we have a person who is miraculously healing sick people and multiplying food to feed thousands…we give Him a large corner office with a window view…in the Temple in Jerusalem…and sit down with Him…if we are the religious leaders…to discuss what He is teaching…what are His beliefs…and how we can help Him?

The perfect life of Jesus Christ…and the culmination of His crucifixion…allows for only one explanation…perfectly orchestrated in the life-script for Jesus…according to the brilliant pin-point accuracy of the divine wisdom of God.

God brilliantly divides-out and separates at the cross on Calvary Hill…the religious leaders standing around the cross upon which Jesus is crucified…mocking Him in adverse unbelief…and the thief crucified alongside Jesus…discovering positive salvation faith in Christ just a few hours before his death later that afternoon.

What part of human nature would identify and expose this flawed dichotomy of rejection of Jesus on the one hand…and acceptance by faith on the other hand?

What motivation…let alone the deep insight required…that could set the scene of unbelief and belief…both nakedly demonstrated at the cross?

The life-script for Jesus Christ that gets a perfect person all the way to the cross…is beyond humanistic literary imagination and invention.

Is this a compelling argument for the divine origin of the story of Jesus recorded in the New Testament gospels?

DAVID  WILSON (dwilso1034) | 39 comments Getting a Perfect Person to the Cross ~

Often I have found that getting a Perfect Person to the Cross comes much later after the initial awareness of the person's helpless condition to "Save Themselves". This period can take days to years depending the the person's closeness to the Scriptures and listening to the Holy Spirit.
Yes, the Holy Spirit was there at the beginning and prompting ~ later returns to improve upon the urgings and the development of growth begins and hopefully never ends.
