This is very true. His death was horrible yet the focus is misplaced. The above phrase has it right. By far the physical was tolerable compared to the emotional pain. Well, why didn't God script this little earthly act we know as the Incarnation as something a little nicer, such as Jesus having his head cut off? Or better yet, put it in what we know as the 20th century and get the electric chair or the needle? It was grueling and nasty to the max for a reason. It was a picture which, precisely because it is so ghastly looking, makes the point like nothing else could. Paul practically berates the Galatians for forgetting about Jesus "who was portrayed before their eyes as crucified."
It's folks like you that bother me ... you really don't get it ... you dwell on the simple minded aspect of the crucifixion ... what gets the attention of closed minded people ... .
I repeat:
His death was horrible yet the focus is misplaced. The above phrase has it right. By far the physical was tolerable compared to the emotional pain.
I hope your shallow view matures to what Christ did for ALL and all that is asked for is belief in Him and doing our best to follow His teachings in the Bible.
