Happy Resurection Day!
I'm sure you all saw "Passion . . ." but consider this: as horrible as the physical torture was, Jesus had to do two other things that go beyond human comprehension to achieve our salvation: He had to live a perfect life (just ponder that, for a moment---how tough that would be, never, EVER, giving in to temptation . . . because the Bible says "He was tempted at all points" as are we); and He had to die a spiritual death by accepting all of the sin of the world.
Being physical beings, we tend to get absorbed with His physical pain, but the incredible separation from God, with Whom Jesus had been throughout eternity, for three days and nights is utterly unfathomable.
