He KNEW, 4

He KNEW, before His incarnation, that he would suffer a terrible agony, even "His sweat would be as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
He KNEW, before His incarnation, He would die an horrible death, hanged on a tree, naked, before His people. But He came, voluntarily.

He KNEW, before His incarnation, that He would die not because of His terrible physical suffering but because the weight of the sins of the world would crush Him to death. But He came, voluntarily.

The weight of all the sins of all men. But He came, voluntarily.

The Father would be separated from Him because of the sins of the world upon Him. But He came, voluntarily.

This separation would take away all hope of resurrection and would push Him to shout:
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
But He came, voluntarily.
