The lesson is a portrait of Christ.
Everything in the scripture is.
The Word of God told him to go up the mountain and die. So he did. No one took it from him; noy even decay. he laid it down.
his body cannot be found.
Christ went and laid down His life. nothing can take it from, not sin, not decay, nothing. He laid it down and took it up again.
the tomb is empty. He rose bodily and ascended bodily. He cannot be found, but reveals Himself - as no one knows the Father except Him and who He chooses to to reveal Himself to.
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God: the Jordan, flowing from Adam to the dead sea, was parted with the mantle of Elijah and a shout, "where is the LORD God?"
Jesus Messiah knew that He would serve as the Lamb of God and suffer for the sins of the entire world........from eternity past. From time immemorial.
That kind of pressure would drive anyone insane.......other than Jesus!
He became a curse for us. That does not mean there was anything in Him to condemn.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
No argument with that....
My point is that the first Adam failed in the confrontation/temptation with Satan and the Second Adam did not.
This test was an aspect of qualifying Jesus as the Second Adam.....
I think this "perfect" love is exactly what was found in Jesus that was not found in any other man woman or child, that was the essence of His perfection. I would go as far to say this is the agony that He suffered in the garden while momentarily considering "another way." Being entirely selfless, his suffering didn't have to do with what He was about to go through, but rather a suffering by the thought of all of our states of being, eternally lost.
So why was he born of a woman; son of David after flesh and why would God condemn sin in the flesh of his son if it wasn't there to condemn?
You have much to think about!
From where I am standing your God and your Christ overcame nothing.

You are right in what you are saying but realize this: If you are saying Jesus had the mind of the flesh which we know he did - then he could not be God - impossible.
