“Cause Of Death”

Did God (the Father) kill Jesus?

Sincerely,
Coroner

Dear Coroner,

Absolutely not.  Jesus was killed by the Roman government at the request of the Jewish people (Acts 4:10).  The Father didn’t force Jesus to die.  Jesus said that He willingly laid down His life for us (Jhn 10:17-18).  At any point, Jesus could have called for angels to save Him from the cross (Matt 26:53), but He didn’t because He loved us enough to die for our sins (1 Jn 4:10).
