183:1.1 There is great [[danger]] of misunderstanding the [[meaning]] of numerous sayings and many [[events]] associated with the termination of [[the Master]]'s [[career]] in the [[flesh]]. The [[cruel]] treatment of [[Jesus]] by the [[ignorant]] [[servants]] and the calloused [[soldiers]], the unfair conduct of his [[trials]], and the unfeeling [[attitude]] of the professed [[religious]] [[leaders]], must not be [[confused]] with the [[fact]] that [[Jesus]], in patiently submitting to all this [[suffering]] and [[humiliation]], was truly [[doing the will of the Father]] in [[Paradise]]. It was, indeed and in [[truth]], the will of [[the Father]] that [[Creator Son|his Son]] should drink to the full the cup of [[mortal]] [[experience]], from [[birth]] to [[death]], but [[the Father]] in heaven had nothing whatever to do with instigating the [[barbarous]] [[behavior]] of those supposedly [[civilized]] [[human beings]] who so brutally [[tortured]] [[the Master]] and so horribly heaped [[successive]] indignities upon his [[nonresisting]] [[person]]. These inhuman and [[shocking]] [[experiences]] which [[Jesus]] was called upon to [[endure]] in the final hours of his [[mortal]] life were not in any sense a part of the [[divine]] [[Intention|will]] of [[the Father]], which his [[human]] [[nature]] had so [[triumphantly]] [[pledged]] to carry out at the [[time]] of the final [[surrender]] of [[man]] to [[God]] as [[signified]] in the threefold [[prayer]] which he [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_182#182:3._ALONE_IN_GETHSEMANE indited in the garden] while his [[weary]] [[apostles]] slept the [[sleep]] of [[physical]] [[exhaustion]].
