Despite the horror which death represented for the sacred humanity of Jesus “who is the Author of Life” (Acts3:15), the human will of the Son of God remained faithful to the will of the Father for our salvation. Jesus accepted the duty to carry our sins in his Body “becoming obedient unto death” (Philippians2:8).

Paragraph 612
612. The cup of the New Covenant, which Jesus anticipated when he offered himself at the Last Supper, is afterwards accepted by him from his Father's hands in his agony in the garden at Gethsemani,434making himself "obedient unto death". Jesus prays: "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. . ."435Thus he expresses the horror that death represented for his human nature. Like ours, his human nature is destined for eternal life; but unlike ours, it is perfectly exempt from sin, the cause of death.436Above all, his human nature has been assumed by the divine person of the "Author of life", the "Living One".437By accepting in his human will that the Father's will be done, he accepts his death as redemptive, for "he himself bore our sins in his body on the tree."438
