I close my eyes and try to envision the pain and suffering our Lord Jesus underwent during that seemingly endless walk to the place where he would ultimately be crucified and pay the price for the sins of the world. I try to imagine the pain he endured, the endless hours of physical torture and mocking. How one could still stand after this continual beating is beyond my comprehension. The beatings were so intense that the skin on his back literally peeled away. And as if this wasn't enough they then took our precious Lord, a plucked the hairs of his beard from his face ripping and snatching away each hair from the very root, hideously laughing and mocking him during his endurance of this pain. As a way of mocking his authority as KING OF KINGS they twist thorns into the form of a crown and forces it upon His head, and the thorns press against the soft precious flesh of his temples, and his priceless blood begins to shed. They blindfold him and slap! him continually demanding that he prophesy to them who it was who beat him. He never uttered a word. (Oh dear God, Precious sweet Lord). Exhausted and weak, he's then led away to be crucified. As he hung there on the cross, with huge nails driven by great force through his blessed hands and feet, the weight of his own body hanging in such a way so as to avoid not pulling downward, trying to prevent the skin in his hands from tearing, must have been UNBEARABLE.  Yet, the worst pain he must have felt was at that moment being separated from the Father which is why he cried out "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me". Our precious Lord knew NO sin, yet hanging there upon that cross he carried the sins of yours and mine and the WHOLE WORLD and for that moment He felt what you and I have felt before we received him as our Lord and Savior, and that is...separation from our Heavenly Father.  When I think of all he endured for me...for you, the suffering, the alienation, the physical torment, the feeling of abandonment... when I think about all this, I weep. I think to myself, how can anyone love me that much, I've done nothing to deserve this awesome display of Love. It hurts to think of the physical and emotional pain he endured... I want to say, I'm so sorry my Lord...so very sorry! And then suddenly, I begin to rejoice. There's a mixture of emotions of both sadness and joy... sadness over his suffering, but yet joy because through his suffering I've now been given the gift of ETERNAL LIFE, adopted into the family of God. No longer alienated from the Father, because of what HIS SON, OUR LORD has done, I and you my dear brothers and sisters are now welcomed into the arms of our loving God and Father. Now considered HIS CHILDREN, because of one man's obedience! He went to the cross battered and bruised, broken and t! orn...but on the 3 day HE ROSE, in MIGHT AND POWER, in MAJESTY and HONOR, in GLORY and SPLENDOR!! HE HAS RISEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Hallelujah
