How do we know Christ’s affliction is different from ours?

In contrast to Moses, who questioned God's purpose in his affliction, Christ understood His suffering was redemptive. Christ’s affliction was significant as it involved the weight of sin laid upon Him, fulfilling God’s justice. As noted in the sermon, Christ cried out from the cross, echoing Moses’ sentiments of despair but for a different reason—He was carrying the burden of sin for His people. His suffering was not a result of personal failure but was appointed by God for the purpose of salvation, highlighting the profound impact of His sacrifice compared to any human suffering that serves more as a reminder of our dependence on God.
