Do you mean that you'd worry that he'd allow himself to be arrested, slapped, beaten, whipped, and nailed to a cross to die?

I believe we all would shed a tear to see some innocent person slain by evil folk.

Everyone of us agrees that some kind of push back is involved with standing up against evil...even thieves don't like to be ripped off by other thieves.

But we disagree often on whether Jesus (God in the flesh) should have turned over the Temple Tables or whether He should have allowed Peter to cut off one man's ear. But we make a mistake, I think, when we put on our own robes of justice and we try to 'judge' God for not doing enough at events like the Jewish holocaust or we think He does too much like the justice served on Annanias and Saphira in Acts 5. God is God, and we sometimes will not be able to totally understand why He spares some and destroys others.

i am just an oldtimer for the Lord.
