Jesus’s crucifixion, death and burial must be seen as undesirable from God’s perspective:-
Matthew 26:39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
The above Scripture is conclusive evidence that God had reluctantly sacrificed his son Jesus to save only the believers from their sins.
“Reluctance” implies that Jesus’s crucifixion, death and burial is to be seen as “undesirable” from God’s perspective.
However, it only seems “desirable” from the perspective of Christians who know that Jesus had made his sacrifice to save them from their sins.
Ultimately, whether it is “desirable” or not depends solely on the vantage point of the individual in question:-
God’s viewpoint => Undesirable
Christian viewpoint => Desirable only to believers who know that they would ultimately benefit from Jesus’s redemptive work on the Cross
So, whether it’s “desirable” or not is wholly dependent on one’s vantage point, but God had reluctantly sacrificed his Son Jesus (John 3:16) to save only the believers (Revelation 21:8) from their sins.
Consequently, Jesus’s crucifixion, death and burial must be seen as undesirable from God’s perspective.
But it’s only “desirable” from a Christian perspective, because all believers should know that they will benefit from Jesus’s redemptive work on the Cross.
