The agony and suffering Jesus endured on the cross was God's holiness and justice being satisfied. Without His work on the cross we all be lost and not able to come near the presence of God. Paul said "Our life is hid with Christ." (Col. 3:3) God's grace, mercy and love were unleashed the day Jesus died and salvation came to all who accept it. Praise God, He cried, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me."
