I truly believe this was God's signal to us. Showing us what one sacred man endured for us. Showing us all the pain and suffering he went through just for us. Showing us just how much he would go through, and the depths he would go through just for us his children.
If God had just, predicted a Spiritual Separation from him to us, we would have never learned. Have you ever heard the saying, 'You'll learn the hard way'. God taut us the hard and brutal way for us to learn.
Think about it, if Jesus never endured any pain at all, and was just separated from God for our sins. Do you think many of us would be greatful, and where we are today? My answer is NO. Because as we all know, and we are all guilty of, we need to see or hear for us to truly believe.
God has plans. Plans for us all. And pain and suffering isnt one of them because Jesus gave all that for us. What he went through, may have been torture to the 1st degree, may have been painful in all ways, but thats the way God intended.
