I have heard that Crucifixion is the most heinous punishment one could receive, even so bad no one would speak of it in Jesus day...it's so ironic that a man would receive it who was completely innocent, however OUR vile sins fit the punishment.
That's what God did, lowering himself to become a man, and take the punishment that we deserve, I speculate that not only did Jesus do this, but he remains in this providential incarnate form of a man forever...
Think about that kind of love!!
