| Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God? |
I believe the suffering was for us. The real pain for Jesus and God was their forced seperation for three days. Remember, they had been together for eternity. We could not understand that kind of pain, so the Lord made the pain graphic for our benefit. I also believe, as in the stonings, beheadings and other methods of torture the the early Christians had to endure, if Christ had died blissfully, it would have been harder for the early Christians to carry on. Jesus always led by example, and no matter the sacrifice we have to do his work.
Last lesson I wondered why Jesus wasn`t murdered in secret, my question is answered in Luke 19:47
47Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 48Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
