Crucifixion ain't nice, the sword in the side was a blessing.

The sword in the side was not to finish Jesus off, it was to ensure that He was dead. If He had cried out, the Romans would have, at that point, broken His legs. The liquid pouring out was also proof that Jesus had died.

True, forgot his body was already dead from the Romans point of view..
btw, the sword was also a fullfilling of scripture(prophecy)(i.e. a blessing in several ways)...

LIKE YOU COULD KILL the son of GOD... LoL...

One of the ultimate messages of the Passion of Christ.
NOBODY DIES... everybody spends eternity somewhere...

Proving that we are not here for a spritual experience but for a human one... the spirit will live on...
Is God cool or WHAT!.?..
