The suffering of Jesus Christ allows Christians to relate to God on a more human level and helps them deal with pain and suffering. When facing his own death, Jesus showed real human emotions like fear and weakness in praying to God to consider another way without requiring such suffering. However, Jesus accepted that it was God's will for him to suffer crucifixion to atone for humanity's sins. His scourging and crucifixion involved mockery, beating, and nailing to a cross until his death, establishing the key Christian beliefs of atonement and redemption through Jesus' sacrifice.
