I have been wondering something. If we are going to seek to learn about the “soul sufferings” of Jesus on the Cross … must we not at least attempt to consider the sufferings of God the Father as well?

Did God suffer that Day?

Is God the Father capable of suffering? Well, no doubt He has feelings. We are made (created) in His Image and we sure do have them!

Did God the Father “hurt” when He “gave” His only begotten Son to die for our sins? (John 3:16 … “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”)

Did God the Father “wince” when He turned His Head from His precious Son as Jesus paid our sin debt? Matthew 27:46 describes Jesus asking from Calvary … “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

Did God “hesitate” when He made Jesus to be SIN for us? Jesus Who knew no sin! (2 Corinthians 5:21 … “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”)

Did God the Father “dread” the torturous Death His Son would face on the old, rugged Tree? He knew it millennia ahead, apparently! (Revelation 13:8 … “The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”)

While we are in “deep waters” here, I strongly suggest that in some way, the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) did agonize as Redemption was provided for lost sinners like us!

Maybe in eternity future we can learn these things!

Salvation is a Gift … but the Price our Salvation cost Almighty God is incomprehensible!

Of that I am sure.
