Title: Why Did Jesus' Death Need to Be So Painful
Topic: First Coming
Summary: We explore this question, wondering why Jesus didn't die a completely different kind of death, or if the crucifixion was necessary, why not do or take something to dull the pain? The answer is that the experience strengthened Jesus tremendously. It was the ultimate test, and He passed.

Hebrews 12:1-2
1
Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2
looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
