I have always wondered why Jesus had to die so early considering that he said he still had many things to teach his disciples. Why was his death at such young age important considering that it was an intentional death and he had the power to avert it ? Wouldn't it have been better if he lived for a few more decades to be able to reach more people and teach more thoroughly?
If you have a reasonable and logical answer to the question, please I would love to hear your contribution.

I think one of such reasons are that he felt the world was no longer conducive, it' was gradually taken over by sinners, a d more sinners to come, if he had stayed longer than that and I think he's coming and the scriptures wouldn't have been fulfilled.

Any other thing would have been redundancy. He has completed his work, reaching out and teaching can be done by his disciples. That way, he has empowered his disciples with what is sufficient any other thing will be added or given to them by the Holy Spirit.

Purpose was hanging over him. Time was up already.

He had don't the work he came to do. When we have fulfilled our purpose, we return back to our Father.

Depending on the gospel you read. Mathew, Mark and Luke all describe a one year ministry for Jesus. That is from the baptism to the cruxifiction was a one year ministry. Only Johns was a 3 years ministry. So another problem arises, did Jesus do the things he did in one year or 3 years. Well it's all fiction anyway. The writers were making up things as they moved along.
