crucifixion‚ agony‚ and death of Jesus offer life lessons and an example for us to follow. 1 Peter 2:21 (ESV) says: "For to this you have been called‚ because Christ also suffered for you‚ leaving you an example‚ so that you might follow in his steps.” We see the suffering that Jesus endured‚ as well as His burial‚ resurrection‚ and ascension through the Gospel writers.
