If Christ is God, He cannot sin, and if suffering was a sin in and by itself, He could not have suffered and died for us. However, since He took the most horrific death to redeem us, He showed us in fact that suffering and pain have great power.

About This Quote

When Jesus took on the sins of the world, He didn't do it for Himself. He did it for us. It was a costly sacrifice to deliver us from sin and death. He showed us that the pain we go through is necessary to make sure that we don't repeat our mistakes. We can learn from our past even though there are some things that are difficult.
