Jesus dies on the cross. Countless Christian martyrs have died horrible deaths at the hands of Romans and others. Christians are this very day being killed by Muslims, many areas of the Middle East are now free of Christians. Plus the unspeakable suffering of the Jews throughout history.

Methinks the pastor is letting personal politics cloud his message.
