What does it FEEL like to be completely innocent in every way—totally without fault—and yet have to take all the blame for everyone else? We could never possibly know the thoughts and feelings of such a condition because it’s so far removed from our reality. But when I think about a person actually enduring that experience, my respect and my love for that person increases. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

Comprehending the experience of taking the blame for everyone is overwhelming, but the way in which He did it is completely awe inspiring. When I read the chapter in The Case for Christ that discussed crucifixtion I almost couldn't read through it thinking of all He went through.
I know what you mean, Mary. When I've read descriptions of "scourging" and "crucifixion" it has been painful just to think about it. It's hard to imagine anyone enduring such a thing. And some scholars suggest that the "physical" agony would not have been as bad as the mental/emotional/spiritual agony.
