(Came as a helpless baby, Spent time with and got close to people others wouldn't even go near, Rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, Washed the disciples’ feet, Submitted Himself to torture and beating without fighting back, Died a criminal's death on a public torture device)
As the Son of God, with God's power in Him, how could Jesus have lived instead?
