How do we know Christ's suffering on the cross was real?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's cry of 'I thirst' demonstrates the reality of His physical and spiritual suffering on the cross.

As mentioned in John 19:28, upon nearing the end of His suffering, Jesus expressed His thirst, which not only confirmed His physical state but also the profound reality of His suffering as both God and man. He fully experienced the agonies ordained from the eternal covenant for the sake of His people. The refusal of the wine mingled with myrrh earlier in the crucifixion underscores His commitment to fully engage with the suffering necessary for sinful humanity’s redemption. Through every moment, He was acutely aware of and involved in the suffering He endured, making His sacrifice deeply personal and impactful.
