There were three hours of inky darkness during the Lord's crucifixion. What do you suppose went on in there? Well; I'll tell you what went on. God brutally thrashed the stuffings out of His own son.
†. Isa 52:14-15 . . there were many who were appalled at him-- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness --thus will he sprinkle many nations
The Romans whipped the Lord to within an inch of his life, slapped him around, crowned him with thorns, and drove nails into his palms and his feet. But that was child's play compared to what God did. By the time those hours of darkness lifted; the Lord's own mother would have trouble recognizing him.
†. Luke 23:48 . .When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away.
Yes, of course they beat their breasts; you know why? Because they were having trouble catching their breath. The extent of the Lord's injuries were so horrific that they could scarcely tell he was the same man.
If the Bible's God would do that to a child of His own, think what He has in store for outsiders who poo-poo the importance of what took place there that day and mock His son and make remarks about him.
†. Heb 10:29-30 . .Think how much more terrible the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God and have treated the blood of the covenant as if it were common and unholy. Such people have insulted and enraged the Holy Spirit who brings God's mercy to his people. For we know the one who said: I will take vengeance. I will repay those who deserve it.
Well . . their punishment isn't all that hard to guess is it? Fair's fair. At the very least, they will be beaten and bloodied beyond recognition, same as he was.
Did the walker on water, the controller of weather, mender of paralysis and withered limbs, maker of wine from water; and raiser of the dead; feel any pain during his ordeal? Yes.
†. Isa 53:10 . . It was Yhvh's will to crush him and cause him to suffer (some versions say: put him to grief)
I should think that the word "suffer" says it all.
†. Acts 1:3 . . He showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs
The Greek word for "passion" is pascho (pas'-kho) which means: to experience a sensation or impression (usually painful)
The below is an impassioned plea heard from the cross.
†. Matt 27:46 . . My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Here it is again; this time with some parts that were missing.
†. Ps 22:1 . . My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
The Hebrew word for "roaring" is sheagah (sheh-aw-gaw') which means: a rumbling or moan.
In other words: people standing around the cross that day during those three hours of inky dark couldn't see anything, but they could sure hear: and what they heard were the dreadful cries of a man in extreme discomfort.
