I was thinking sort of along these lines recently. You know the whole struggle of striving to discipline ourselves to do what we know the Word says. (Some might understand what I am saying here). Anyway while thinking of this I thought of the heavenly host in Heaven praising Jesus because He was the Lamb slain on the earth.

Considering all of this, I thought here was Jesus in His early thirties and He let men drag Him in to the place where they spit on Him, smacked Him around, mocked Him, little did they know that at any time He could of called a legion of Angels and put a stop to these hypocritical men trying to hurt Him. Nobody wants pain or torture and men would do anything to get out of it.

But the Lord just let them do what they wanted because He was thinking of others and that He knew they would be allowed in Heaven because of His sacrifice.

No wonder everyone is joyfully casting their crowns at His feet, He paid the price so we could enter in to His glory. How wonderful is that?
