This is why for thousands of years, Christians have found the cross to be so central to life. It speaks to us of God's suffering.
God's pain.
God's broken heart.
If you've ever given your heart to someone and had your heart broken, you know how God feels.
If you've ever given yourself to someone and found yourself waiting for their response, exposed and vulnerable, left hanging in the balance, you know how God feels.
The cross is Gods way of saying, "I know what it's like."
Our tendency in the midst of suffering is to turn on God. To get bitter and angry and say "God, You don't know what it's like! You don't understand, You have no idea what I'm going through. You have no clue how much this hurts."
The cross is God taking on flesh and blood and saying, "Me too."
