knowing what comes next

When Jesus does the last supper he already knows what comes next. Maybe not exactly and detailed but he knows Judas would betray him and Peter, one of his most loyal apostles, will deny him three times, and he will go through lots of suffering. Still, he does the dinner, he predicts his future and he completes his destiny without even trying to change his future. The only thing he does to try to prevent his horrible fate is that he prays to god for mercy and asks him to allow him to avoid all the suffering for which he was predestined. God either ignores him or denies his petition but either way Jesus does suffer a lot and is put to die in a very cruel way. The fact that Jesus faces all with his head held high makes him a very strong and honorable man who accepts Gods’ way of doing things even when it’s hard for him to understand it.
Knowing the future is something which is very hard and delicate to handle. Many people go to fortune tellers and even if they are inventing all the facts they say, they change the costumers’ life because he begins to try to accomplish the positive things that were told to him but tries to avoid the negative. Only few people have the nerve to confront even the negative aspects of life.
