Synopsis of talk

If you have ever read or even dabbled in the the biographies about Jesus life, Matthew, Mark, Luke or John from the Bible, it quickly becomes obvious that Jesus is in control of any and every situation.

In the midst of religious debate he wins the argument every time.
When confronted by unruly mobs or dangerous spiritual forces they always blink first and he comes out on top.
Even a raging storm, doesn't raise an eyebrow.
Jesus seems to be in control in every situation. Yet he ends up dead, crucified by the Romans as a public criminal.
So, how exactly did he end up the cross?

Did he lose his way?
Did he lose control?
Did he cross someone he really shouldn't have?
Did he overreach himself?

And in the midst of all this, where was the God who he seemed to trust in so much and called others to trust in above all else.
What was going on when Jesus died on the cross?
Was he hung out to dry by God?
