I have tied this up and made it all readable my thoughts above into one post, I made a blog post about it, so came to post the new post which was more readable.
This is my writing on the Passion of Christ from the time of Jesus' arrest until his his mortal death on the Cross, which he carried.
Jesus came to offer us the hope of eternal life and remission of sins. He was given to us a gift from his father to offer us hope of a continuation of life beyond the death of our mortal bodies. Our spirits could go onto to live beyond in Heaven or on New Earth.
In the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus asked his father to take this cup of suffering away from him. Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done (Luke 22:42).
On the Cross he also groaned out- Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani" -My God my God why have you forsaken me (Matthew 24:47).
Jesus was fully divine in a mortal body and was not without physical strength at his command. He also had human attributes though, it seems to be emotion that he felt when he said both of these things as being on the Cross was awful to experience and witness, but he knew that he was going to Heaven and actually had more strength to survive further than three days. God has said also in Psalm 30-that our emotions can override us at times, and then we pull ourselves together showing how moments of being made in his image can overtake us briefly. God knew that it was enough for his Son.
The Garden of Gethsemane makes me wonder as to what could have been going through Jesus’ mind. He saw that his colleagues would betray him-two of them-dened by Peter and to be betrayed by Judas. Which was meant to happen-but could have been difficult for anyone to see. He was a prophet as well as the Son of God and knew what further was to come for him in the coming days. 40 days is a long time to go without food and to be left to think. I have thought over what inner turmoil must Jesus may have had with so many thoughts going through his mind before he went on the cross. There was may be the voice of mother and more.
Jesus also wore the Crown of thorns on his head which was piercing with pain and can distort your thoughts and you can say anything.
Some people seemed to believe that he was the Son of God, but denied it and some also denied who he was outright and said he was guilty of sin by healing on the Sabbath and by saying that he is the Son of God-many didn’t believe him. When he was being sentenced also he refused to speak to those sentencing him, so he suppressed any feelings if he had them to himself.
He was put on the cross as a lawbreaker. He was given vingear to drink which was humbling given that he was the Son of God. It was said he rejected this, but the Gospel of Luke states that he drank it a different mixture given to him. He was also mocked significantly. I also read that Jesus was spat at as well when he was being crucfixed.
I was wondering to and explored myself, if this could have affected him-that he may have thought that he was around his father’s enemies in life now also and who would want to live a life with their families enemies. I certainly well wouldn’t want to live long term with my father’s enemies on earth.
Psalm 137 is about worshipping in a strange land as well as about recovering from disorientation. Now I wonder if the world began to look very strange to the Lord.
He was only still in his 30s as well and although was full of wisdom far beyond his years. He was still this age building up his self belief in himself as a person. Did he feel that he did enough for his Father, of course he did as we know, but the mind can hold us to a higher account. Jesus is now fully developed in the spirit in Heaven.
What happened to Jesus was the plan for his life, but I find it interesting looking at what could have been going through his mind to lead him to make both of the comments that he made. I never was able to think much of his suffering on the cross before due to finding it too painful and used to go from the Garden of Gethsemane to the Supper at Emmaus. I have drawn most recently to look at the suffering that he went through during the Passion of Christ in greater depth.
For God to see his Son on the Cross-extremely difficult perhaps as me I cannot even bare seeing a nail biting match if family are involved. He gave his son, imagine watching him on the Cross from above...agony for any Father for 3 days and every private thought and groan of his Son in turmoil he could hear as well.
I remembered today that in (Luke 22:43) that an angel appeared to Jesus to strenghten him in the Garden of Getheseme. Not all the Gospels tell of this encounter, so people may not know it. Of course at this point Jesus knew what was ahead of him. Most people do know that angels came to support him after he was tempted by the devil and won through in conviction.
Catholic traditions of the Bible like the Douay-Rheims Bible also mention that the Lord was in turmoil and agony at this point. It doesn't mention though exactly in his words what was going through his mind.
This is my writing on the Passion of Christ from the time of his arrest until his his mortal death on the Cross, which he carried. He will come again. I had an image of me being magnitised up to Heaven. We do the best we can and walk humbly and hold onto our truths, for Christ to be revealed at the end. The Father, the Son and Holy Spirit are more than deserving of a gun saltue for everything they have given to us on earth. Indebted.

At the end when his mortal life had ceased Jesus was pierced in the side to confirm life extinct on earth. With the folding of the napkin on his head to mark the completion of his journey on earth it was folded and reminiscent of the Last Supper completed in the Cenacle room.
He is the Son of God, the Son of Elias, God. He was given to us by God, so that we could have a relationship with him by the forgiveness of our sins, giving us the Lamb of God, his Son as a way of us residing with him everlasting. On earth he gives us a chance to start again and to become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
" Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
