The Sufferings of Jesus were Voluntary

    Another truth unappreciated by Muslims is that Jesus was not a helpless victim of tragic circumstances but that He willingly gave Himself to suffer. Many Muslims cannot understand how God could allow men to be so cruel to one of His great servants. But the truth is that Jesus suffered because it was the will of God, because He willed to fulfill God’s will, and because that was the only way in which sinners could be saved.
