Our Lord understood this and ended His life with power and obedience in order to give our lives salvation. I always try to remember that without a Good Friday there is no Easter Sunday.

The injustice hurts them more than anything else. You have a great point there Katdish. I always wonder how much it hurt being cut off from God. That whole Holy Trinity deal and the oneness that comes with it. Jesus lost that for the first time in.... forever, literally. How painful must that have been?

Do you know what I always come back to every time I take communion? The idea that Jesus left the right hand of God, lived a sinless life on earth, endured the most horrific death possible - all of that. But what strikes me so much is trying to imagine being hung from that cross, the only sinless human to ever walk the earth, and then to feel the enormous weight of all the sins of the world - past, present and future being thrust upon me. I almost think that was more painful than any physical torture He endured. I don't know if anyone else feels that way, but I know I do. Thank you for your kind words and joining in me in worship.
