Violence At The Cross

I have shown elsewhere that the wrath that Christ endured to save us from hell is corrective and not penal. He took our place so we don’t have to go to lasting correction as long as we trust in Him. But doesn’t the suffering seem too severe that Christ endured? I think not. Keep in mind that Christ was carrying the sins of the whole world! That’s a lot of sin! We should expect the suffering to be so severe. Especially since it was only for a few hours. All evil was laid on Christ.
