Why Did Jesus Have To Suffer? | Erik Luchetta and Jeremy Marrone

Why did Jesus have to endure so much suffering before the cross? Jesus suffered the brutality of floggings, mocking, and the crown of thorns because God was directly confronting the full weight of evil. By responding with love and forgiveness instead of vengeance, Jesus absorbed and extinguished the power of evil, providing a practical roadmap for us to overcome darkness in our own lives. 🙏 Need Prayer?

Inspirational Takeaway: Real power is not the ability to take a life or seek revenge, but the strength to restore life through kindness. ❓ Common Questions: Q: What is the difference between seeking justice and seeking vengeance? A: Justice seeks to set a situation right and restore peace through proper channels, while vengeance is a self-indulgent desire to make someone else feel the pain they caused you.
