After all, he did heal people when God the Father probably wouldn’t have.

Imagine what the world would be like if every time someone was going to die prematurely, or every time someone was going to be mugged, or raped, etc. a divine miracle happened in which that innocent person was magically saved. Free will would become much less important then. In fact, you could make a similar argument that every time someone thought about doing evil, God should divinely inspire them to not do the deed, in which free will would cease to exist.

They would have put their faith in God and accepted the consequences. If you truly believe that you and those you love are going to Heaven when you and they die, there is no reason to resist dying.

And yet, if one of those people happened to survive an impossible circumstance, you would say it is a miracle and God was watching over them. Hmm.

It is better to let a 100 die than to take the life of an innocent child. God/Jesus would not interfere but would let humans exercise free will to get out of the situation or face the consequences of their actions.
