Jesus died a horrible, painful and inhumane death on the cross. On the one hand he is the Son of God; on the other hand, he suffered as a human being and he experienced pain and fear. Through his suffering and death, Jesus redeemed us from death and obtained forgiveness for all sins.
With his horrible death, Jesus proved that he truly spoke in the name of God the Father, and God confirmed this through Jesus’ resurrection. Throughout his life, Jesus showed us that he loves people. He demonstrated this love for us particularly on the cross, where he took all our sins upon himself (Heb. 9:28).
