By far the physical was tolerable compared to the emotional pain. Rather than giving an intellectualized answer I'll just say: Yeah, Right!

The crucifixion itself was only a picture of a deeper sacrifice. Jesus Christ, having all the stamina of God himself, could have regarded the physical events as less than a fleabite had He so wished. The burden of God's own wrath upon sin, multiplied by an eternity, was another story.

It seems to me that "Yeah, Right !" suffices as your intellectualized answer if that's all you walk away with mentally when Christ died on the cross for you.
