Christ died for our sins, so that we would not have to.

Spiritually, yes. However, where He leads, we will follow... to the Cross. St Thomas Aquinas noted that what happens to the head (Christ) will also happen to the body (Church). The Church will suffer for the glory of God as Christ did.

“Spiritually, yes. However, where He leads, we will follow.”

Suffering does not lead to salvation. Acceptance and faith in Christ is the only way down that path.

Jesus did not die with us, Jesus died for us...

Jesus died physically...We died (the old man) spiritually...

1Th 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Intellectual logic pales in comparison to the words of God...
