When you really look at the reality of the cross, you realize it wasn't the nails that caused the most agony. It was the separation. From noon to 3 PM, darkness covered the land. Jesus took on the literal weight of every murder, lie, and sickness in human history. And because God is holy, the Father had to turn His face away from His own Son. Jesus experienced the absolute, terrifying void of hell—complete separation from God—so that we would never have to. I'm sitting here in tears. We have no idea how much it cost. 🩸💔
