Wow, three questions in one! Yes I do sometimes think about Jesus, no I don't think about the suffering he went through because, if he went through it to save us from our sins it was part of a pre-ordained plan and inevitable. How does it make me feel? Not yet convinced.
-
Thankful that He even did that for me, in my place too. -In the Master's service. Thank you and God bless you!
-
Not anymore. I don't think that happened.
-
I do think about Jesus, but only very occasionally. I feel it is a tragedy that a man was tortured and killed for the superstitions of the time.

Yeah, I think of it. It makes me feel incredibly humble. It brings to mind the Casting Crowns song, "Who Am I" Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth, Would care to know my name, Would care to feel my hurt. Who am I? That the bright and morning star, Would choose to light the way, For my ever wandering heart. Bridge: Not because of who I am, But because of what you've done. Not because of what I've done, But because of who you are. Chorus: I am a flower quickly fading, Here today and gone tomorrow, A wave tossed in the ocean, A vapor in the wind. Still you hear me when I'm calling, Lord, you catch me when I'm falling, And you've told me who I am. I am yours. I am yours. Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin Would look on me with love And watch me rise again. Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea, Would call out through the rain, And calm the storm in me. Bridge&Chorus 2x I am yours. Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear? 'Cause I am yours. I am yours.

It brings an incredible feeling of thankful and gratefulness to me. i dont know how to thank him enough. I also think of the movie Passion of Christ and the song Calvary by Richard Smallwood with Vision. the words that run through my head are "he didnt have to do it, he could have set himself free, he didnt have to do it, but he stayed there just for me"

If Jesus wasn't a fictional character, I would feel great gratitude. But, since he is, I feel nothing.
-
Nope because IF the story was true he only died a physical (human death) he was an immortal spirit so went into his 'sacrifice' knowing he would survive and go back to his heaven. Common sense folks, common sense.
-
I'm not a christian or religious for that matter, so I'm indifferent. If anything, I pitty him.
-
No. I never think about it. I am not sold on the belief system that Jesus was the Son of God. Besides, everyday people suffer and people die. Good things happen to good people - it is a part of life. Life isn't fair.

constantly...HE was human as we are..and that hurt tremendously, physically and emotionally..i am constantly putting myself in the place HE was in for US...i do not think i could of done it...having the POWER to stop it, I believe I would of used it!!!! it makes me grateful, indebted to HIM , and i have a beautiful HOPE...amen but I think/remember every Sunday, when take the Lord's Supper..the bread/body that HE gave..and the wine/blood that HE shed, FOR ME..AMEN..
-
Yes, it makes me feel disgusting and wretched but also privileged and loved at the same time.
-
Do you ever think about all the other people who died trying to defend the public from corrupt civil authority? Many were tortured a lot more than Jesus, and for much more noble causes.
-
Doubtful. If He were the son of God and went through all that suffering for us, then why do we still suffer? Please do not bring out that old saw of 'free will' because it is a load of manure.

i am always thinking of the tremendous sacrifice Jesus Christ performed on my behalf. i can never repay him for what he did. the longer i live the longer i will owe him. not just him but also his Father that sent him. had he not been sent, he would not have descended to earth. he did this out of love first for his Father, Jehovah God. second he did this out of love for obedient mankind. (john 3:16) coming up very soon will be the memorial of his death. he instructed his followers to observe this very sacred of all days. the bible specifically mentions the date as being nisan 14 after sundown. this year that date falls on thursday april 9, 2009. Jehovah's Witnesses will gather worldwide to conmemorate this auspicious and most solemn occassion. we also are very happy when we see that others wish to join us, in this the most beautiful night of all nights this year. feel free to contact your local kingdom hall for the exact time in your locality.

It makes me feel that it's an incredibly sadistic, morbid and twisted mythology to ascribe too. DR, oh Christian Soldiers - show your love :-) +5

Actually, even if i believed it was true, it's not a very big deal to me. If you know it is not an actual sacrifice it kind of lessons it. He knew he was not staying dead. It's like me handing you $100 and you hand it back in 3 days and then me claiming i made a sacrifice. I may have lost out on .0001 cent in interest but I would hardly call something temporary a sacrifice. hell, if i was immortal, i would be tempted to experience "death" out of morbid curiosity. Staying dead would have been much more impressive. i also find the whole concept of a barbaric ritual to pay of a debt to one's self utterly wasteful and silly. Unless God had some bookie waiting to break his godly legs, I don't see why an all powerful god requires sacrifice. Sounds like either this god has major limitations or it's all utter BS compromised of a hodge podge of contradictory myths arranged in a an orwellian manner. in other words, it makes me feel like laughing

I try not to promote it because it downsizes the struggle of others, or it's the hovering standard.
-
I am thankful that He loved us enough to do that for us...but at the same time, I have real problems with reading about it, or watching movies that portray His suffering, or even thinking about it. It makes me cry at what He went through because of His love. I really get upset and cry when I think about His suffering.
