Like, I feel like everyone has an idea of who he is. Sculpted or jagged and rough. But like.... What did Jesus Want? Is that really what we should be focused on? He is the way, so wanting what he wanted must be at least a facet?

He wanted to do his Father’s will. God wanted us to be reconciled to him, because our sin separated us from him. Isaiah 59 has a synopsis of God working salvation for us! Jesus is that salvation.

A couple follow ups!
Thank you!
How did he go about accomplishing his desire?
May I have a broader definition of Salvation? Anything in the Physical that might stand as representation? What would be the opposite of Salvation?
Jesus lived a sinless life, which kept the law given to the Jewish people. He died as a sacrifice, a perfect lamb without spot or blemish, once for all the sins of the world and a salvation (saving us from the wrath of God) to all who will believe because his righteousness is ours since he did this for us. It is a free gift, but we have to believe he did it and that it is ours. We can't earn it. The physical representation is baptism into his name - combining water and the word of god to wash away our sins. As we go through life we are to rely on this baptism and repent (return to the forgiveness it offers), turning away from sin and remembering what Jesus has done for us.
The opposite of Salvation is Damnation.
May I have a definition of Damnation? Any HUMAN activity that might be likened to? I myself am kind of bad at this! Who is Salvation offered to? After that is there any word of human intervention? How is it supposed to go?
P.S. I forgot the first 2 questions. Damnation is like a (for example) PRISON SENTENCE. It is sentencing your soul to an Eternity of hopelessness, dispair, sorrow and utter devastation in the fires of Hell.
The only HUMAN activity I would liken that to would be if you were in a Cult, a Satan Worshipper or any order that delves into Satanic Worship. God bless you again.
Salvation is the REPENTANCE of your sins through Jesus Christ. He is our Lord and Savior; the sacrificial Lamb that God gave to us so that there would/will no longer be a divide between our souls and God.
Salvation is offered to everyone/ even you if you are willing to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. All you have to do is ask. Simply bow your head and say in your own words, "Jesus, I am a sinner. Please forgive me of all my sins. Enter my heart and cleanse me so that I may dwell with you in Heaven."
That is along the lines of what you want to say. Then read the Bible, get in a church where you feel Comfortable, Welcome and teaches from the Bible the True Word of God.
I do not understand what you mean about human intervention. The intervention you want to look out for most after you have received your Salvation is Satan. Satan does not like to lose and he will attack you every chance he gets. God did not say that our lives would be easy. It rains upon the Christian as well as the Sinner. In those times, simply pray to God for strength and a hedge of protection. Tell Satan to flee from you; that is what I do.
Did this answer your questions? If not, perhaps you may want to ask Ashlanddog, Sclechta, Jtap, or a number of other people who may have better answers than I. God bless and have a wonderful week.
