I don't believe it even touched the sufferring Jesus endured, especially as He was literally carrying the sins of everyone in the world. The cross was light compared to that weight.

>I agree completely. While it's important to understand the amount of physical sufferning He really underwent, I think the spiritual suffering must have been a million times harder to endure. Can you imagine taking on yourself ALL the sin of THE WHOLE WORLD?!! I mean, every single lie, every single moment of boasting and greed and deceit, every murder, every rape, every genocide, every child molestation....taking all that ugliness and sickness and darkness onto HIMSELf, to endure total separation from God's holiness (being forsaken due to God not being able to be in the presence of sin, and it was all on Jesus so God the Father HAD to leave Him for that time)
To do all that, the physical and the spiritual, and of course the emotional, and yet to still say..."Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do"...it blows my mind.
I'd love to see a movie that could portray that aspect of the death and resurrection of Christ...the impact would be perhaps even more than this movie.
any thoughts?
