Anybody who believes Christ on the Cross was to receive shame doesn’t understand the Gospel message.

Okay. I don't understand your comment. The shameful nature of death on the cross has always been central to my understanding. Not that Christ deserved that shame (I do) but that he suffered that for "the sake of the joy set before him." (Heb. 12:2)

The Cross was all about judgment, not shame.

The sins of all mankind were imputed to Christ on the Cross and He was judged for them.

He wasn’t shamed on the Cross. On the contrary, He remained obedient to the Plan of God the Father when He went to the Cross, so He wasn’t shamed. He was judged and suffered the penalty of sin.
