Dale,
It is not that His suffering, crucifixion, or being whipped and beaten, etc. etc. etc. was any greater than others. It is that His was different, in that it was for a purpose. He suffered and died for forgivness of sins! Yours, mine, and all who read this. He did this willingly...At any time He could have stopped it...But chose not to so that we may be forgiven and saved. That Man on the Cross loved (loves) us that much!
As to the poor, homeless, sick, hungry people of the world, it is our duty as believers to contribute to their relief as liberally as we possibily can with out causing material injury to ourselves.
Check out the movie...My family and I plan to real soon. I hear that it is very good!!
Best Wishes for a good cleaning season!!
