The pain that Jesus Christ felt when He was crucified is something most of us will never experience. And foreseeing and knowing this event would take place was a burden that Jesus carried with Him long before the event occurred. That knowledge would have driven most of us to insanity if we knew that was our destiny. But, Jesus also knew that life would be glorious after that event.

Before Jesus was crucified He carried a heavy burden. And now, Jesus is smiling, as He rolls our stones away.
