>>13614942>i have no idea about the theological significance of anythingChrist was a special case. he sacrificed himself. if his apostles and he himself would have defended him and succeed the prophecies wouldnt be fulfilled and mankind not be reddemed. if the tried but failed then Jesus didnt give himself over, he wouldnt have sacrificed himself.
>52“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?The point is by not resisting he gave himself over to Gods will, did what he was told. He showed he is in control. they didnt seize him, he went with them. he even mocks them how pittyful they are to come in the night when he was at die in city
>55At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts,h and you did not arrest Me. 56But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.”Only because he gave himself over he proved that his heart is where his mouth is. He proved to not be interested in just creating a personal cult as noone doing that would be die for his message preventing him from experience the worship he desires. Him willingly giving himself over proved that he had absolute faith in what he taught others and provided credibility to his claims even when ignoring all the miracles surrounding him
