PLEASE HELP!! Read the paragraphs below and then answer the question:

25. The scene of Christ's death, with the sharp spikes and the wrenching thud as the cross was dropped in the ground, has been told so often that we, who shrink from a news story on the death of a race horse or of baby seals, do not flinch at its retelling. It was a bloody death, an execution quite unlike the quick, sterile ones we know today: gas chambers, electric chairs, hangings. This one stretches on for hours in front of a jeering crowd.

26. Jesus' death is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, the most important fact of his coming. You can't follow Jesus without confronting His death; the Gospels bulge with its details. He laid out a trail of hints and bald predictions about it throughout His ministry, predictions that were only understood after the thing had been done, when to the disciples the dream looked shattered. His life seemed prematurely wasted. His triumphant words from the night before surely must have cruelly haunted His followers as they watched him groan and twitch on the cross.

SELECT ALL THAT APPLY
In paragraphs 25 and 26, Jesus' suffering and death is used as another incident showing the occurrence of suffering in our world. What good is it that Jesus suffered so badly and died such a horrible death (paragraphs 27 - 29)?

A. No one suffers alone because Jesus went through a life of pain.
B. He showed that our suffering is caused by our sin.
C. We are not abandoned.
D. It is no good at all.
