Satan was hoping that Jesus will use His divinity to deliberate Himself.
Questions to ponder
Why is it so difficult to understand what Jesus really gave up to save humanity?
Bible texts
Philippians 2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Through his earthly instruments, Satan orchestrated Christ’s crucifixion.
This was his last act of cruelty, hoping to see that Jesus will use His divinity to deliberate Himself.
If this was to happen, humanity would have Satan as their master without a second chance.
The Son of God could have prevented and refused to come under the dominion of death.
Nevertheless, He didn’t use His Divine power. Furthermore, He voluntarily laid down His life, that He might give life back to humanity.
Thus He brought immortality to light.
