We can’t diminish the extreme agony Jesus experienced as He surrendered Himself to the will of God, resulting in His death on the cross. As a man, He was submitting Himself to unspeakable pain and physical agony. But, as Pastor David explains in today’s message, the cross was a relatively small part of the overall battle that Christ was embroiled in. In order to impart His own righteousness on mankind, He had to bear the collective guilt of all our sin, destroying His intimacy with the Father.
