I always feel crucifixion was such a cruel death. The physical pain must be excruciating.
But I understood something more. When the Lord Jesus said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”, it must be more painful than any thing else. God the Father has left Him. A child separated from his father. On top of the phyiscal pain, there were feeling of lost, desperation, loneliness, and emptiness.
Rejoice, the story did not end there. The Lord Jesus rose on the 3rd day!
Death has no power over Him, and thus it has no power over those who put their trust on Him.
