Why did Satan inspire the Jews and the Romans to crucify Jesus when it was the worst thing he could have done?

“Endure Hardship…Discharge all the duties of your ministry.”

2nd Timothy 4:5

We don’t get to choose our cross, it is laid upon us. We can choose to carry it or reject it, and fight against it. And it is specific to each of our lives.

Luke 9:23 “whoever wants to be my disciple must take up his cross daily and follow me…”

If we aren’t currently carrying a cross, we must maintain the attitude that will be ready to carry it when it comes.
