Primary to this non-traditional Christian interpretation is the sincere earnestness of God's original commitment not to interfere with the
individual or collective decisions of his human children, even when that meant the mortal death of his Son! That is a testimony to the commitment God has for the sovereignty of the will of his creatures and the expression of their will. God's non-interference in the developments leading to Jesus' death proved that he is not a manipulator of our lives but a sincere creator.
What this means for us is that we are fully and totally responsible for our decisions, choices, and actions. The wonderful aspect of this interpretation is that it is in tune with the consistent, eternal, unconditional loving nature of God: To create exceptional results using love. This is total confirmation of the accuracy of Jesus' concept of God that he gave to us.
In the play of our self-will, which God has granted as inviolate, we are responsible for our decisions. God does not interfere. Yet we see and know that God is involved in our lives daily in many ways. How can this occur? Look at it from a parent's perspective: A child must be raised to learn to become a fully responsible adult in a larger society. And though the parent allows the child to make decisions, some of which are harmful to himself and sometimes to others, the parent is nonetheless left to clean up the consequences of the child's actions. It is not much different from the havoc we inflict in our lives and the lives of others, leaving God to bring peace, harmony, and love into expression. God provides an abundance of options for thought, choices, and actions to us, but never interferes in our choices or our actions.
The men who murdered Jesus did so through the despicable and selfish expression of their wills. They put their will before God's. God's will implies benevolence. Therefore, all acts that are not benevolent are not a reflection of God's will. They were not manipulated by God to kill Jesus. They, alone, are responsible for the murder of Jesus. The individual will of the perpetrators of this crime took precedence over God's will. God created humans with free will, and did not, would not, and will not abrogate man's will, even when that meant the mortal death of his Son.
As a Son of God, Jesus proved his perfect obedience by not thwarting the will of his murderers and his Father's will. Under similar circumstances, does man have a right to defend himself? Yes, and under different circumstances, Jesus would have done so. But he had a point to make: God does not interfere with man's will. God does not break his own rules.
Jesus' acceptance of the decisions of the individuals who arranged his murder was as powerful a statement as ever could be made to all the universe that God's love is benign, consistent, unwavering, eternally and universally benevolent, and unconditional; and that God will not interfere in the expression of the will of any individual, no matter what circumstances may be involved. There could not have been a more personal, profound, and poignant demonstration of non-interference for our will-decisions. Further, there could not have been a more powerful and poignant statement about the ultimate responsibility that we have for our decisions and our actions.
