Comparison of worth to the Father between Jesus and His people
Upvote:4
This question is based on bit of faulty logic which isn't really appropriate to the scenario. Firstly, the analogy of a car isn't appropriate when it's applied to people. The car analogy wouldn't be used, for example, if you were trying to compare the importance of your wife versus your children.
Secondly, two important points are forgotten:
Jesus is a willing participant in this. God the Son chose to descend from heaven and pay the price to redeem mankind.
Jesus and the Father are also in some sense one. God the Father is not just sacrificing his son, he is also sacrificing himself.
This issue is not a logical economic transaction and should not be approached that way. People do 'stupid' things all the time to save the ones they love.
