"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less." -C.S. Lewis

EX·CRU·CI·AT·ING

So here's a true story. Back in the day, there was no word to describe the immeasurable pain and suffering that one endured by dying on the cross. I mean, how do you explain the process of getting scourged, carrying a cross, getting nailed onto it, dying slowly of asphyxiation/hunger/thirst, being publicly humiliated, and finally being stabbed by a spear. There isn't. So the word excruciating was created. It's from the Latin word, excruciare, which is derived from cruciare, aka to crucify.

And guess what... Jesus died an excruciating death, so that we can have life. Tetelestai.
