Did God the Father do anything to stop Jesus from being crucified?
No, God the Father did nothing to stop the crucifixion. The God of all creation, who could have destroyed the whole human race, instead let the Roman soldiers nail Him to the cross. He spared not His own Son but delivered Him up of His own volition; it was not loss of control.
Les teaches from Romans chapter 8 that the God of all creation, the God of glory, full of majesty and power, could have destroyed the whole human race or the planet with just a wink, but He did not. Instead, He let the Roman soldiers nail Him to the Roman cross and put Him to death, and God did not do a thing to stop Him. This matches the next verse: He spared not His own Son but delivered Him up of His own volition. It was not that God lost control.
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
