186:5.1 There is no direct [[relation]] between the [[death]] of [[Jesus]] and the [[Jewish]] [[Passover]]. True, [[the Master]] did lay down his life in the [[flesh]] on this day, the day of the [[preparation]] for the [[Jewish]] [[Passover]], and at about the time of the [[sacrificing]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korban_Pesach Passover lambs] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple]. But this [[coincidental]] occurrence does not in any [[manner]] indicate that the [[death]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] on [[earth]] has any [[connection]] with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korban Jewish sacrificial system]. [[Jesus]] was a [[Jew]], but as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] he was a [[mortal]] of the realms. The [[events]] already narrated and leading up to this hour of [[the Master]]'s impending [[crucifixion]] are sufficient to indicate that his [[death]] at about this time was a [[purely]] [[natural]] and man-managed affair.

186:5.2 It was [[man]] and not [[God]] who [[planned]] and [[executed]] the [[Crucifixion|death]] of [[Jesus]] on [[the cross]]. True, [[the Father]] refused to [[interfere]] with the march of [[human]] [[events]] on [[Urantia]], but [[the Father]] in [[Paradise]] did not [[decree]], demand, or require the [[death]] of his [[Creator Son|Son]] as it was carried out on [[earth]]. It is a [[fact]] that in some [[manner]], sooner or later, [[Jesus]] would have had to divest himself of his [[mortal]] [[body]], his [[incarnation]] in the flesh, but he could have [[executed]] such a task in countless ways without dying on a cross between two thieves. All of this was [[man]]'s doing, not [[God]]'s.

True, indeed, all this [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] has been tremendously [[illuminated]] by [[the Master]]'s [[death]], but even more so by his life.

186:5.5 All that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] said or did on [[earth]] greatly embellished the [[doctrines]] of [[sonship]] with [[God]] and of the brotherhood of men, but these [[essential]] [[relationships]] of [[God]] and men are [[inherent]] in the [[universe]] [[facts]] of [[God]]'s [[love]] for his [[creatures]] and the innate [[mercy]] of the [[divine Sons]].

186:5.6 [[The Father]] in [[heaven]] loved [[mortal]] [[man]] on [[earth]] just as much before the life and [[death]] of [[Jesus]] on [[Urantia]] as he did after this [[transcendent]] exhibition of the co[[partnership]] of [[man]] and [[God]]. This mighty [[transaction]] of the [[incarnation]] of the [[God]] of [[Nebadon]] as a man on [[Urantia]] could not augment the [[attributes]] of the [[eternal]], [[infinite]], and [[universal Father]], but it did enrich and [[enlighten]] all other [[administrators]] and [[creatures]] of the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]]. While [[the Father]] in heaven [[loves]] us no more because of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 this bestowal of Michael], all other [[celestial]] [[intelligences]] do. And this is because [[Jesus]] not only made a [[revelation]] of [[God]] to [[man]], but he also likewise made a new [[revelation]] of [[man]] to [[the Gods]] and to the [[celestial]] [[intelligences]] of the [[universe of universes]].
