By Jonathan S. Rose
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.

Psalms 19:1-5
1
The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2
Day after Day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4
Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
