The suffering Jesus underwent speaks more of the hatred and cruelty of humanity than it does of God's punishment for sin.  Satan’s absolute hatred of God and Jesus was surely a part of the motivation behind the relentless torture and abuse. Jesus' suffering is the ultimate example of how sinful man feels toward a holy God.  It was our sins that made Him cried out “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

In the Old Testament we read Isaiah 53:3,5 especially predict Jesus’ suffering, “He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed.” This was all because of God love for the world.
