To me the brutality of the crucifixion became more evident to me. I didnt reallize how much blood he lost or how badly and with what he was beaten with. I also didnt know that while on the cross, he had to push himself up to even exhail. I hate reading this, it shows me the reality of the pain he went through, and makes me so grateful.

I didnt realize the length of the whole process that he went through.I realized just how brutally this all was. I didnt know that the nails missed the arteries, did they mean for it to happen that way? Lastly, I didnt know that the stuff they offered him to drink was a painkiller. Im assuming that was meant as a joke. It sucks watching how he died, but makes me grateful that he did it. For me.
