Tortured.
My new favorite TV show is "24". I've been watching the episodes in order on Netflix for the past few months. In the last episode I watched, the main character, Jack Bauer, was being interrogated and tortured.
I admit, even though it was acting, it was difficult to watch. It wasn't near as difficult to watch as the beatings Christ endured in Mel Gibsons "The Passion of The Christ".
Neither of those compare to what Christ really endured. Scriptures say that He was disfigured beyond recognition and didn't even look human.
Imagine someone taking your punishment and then getting flogged until they no longer looked alive. Imagine them willfully agreeing to your punishment knowing the price they would pay is more than the human body can endure.
Keep this in mind as we celebrate Palm Sunday this weekend and Easter next weekend.
