How do we know Christ's suffering was greater than any other?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's suffering surpassed all others due to the unique burden of sin He bore on our behalf.

The unique suffering of Christ is rooted in His divine nature and mission. While many have suffered physically and emotionally throughout history, Christ's agony was intensified by His role as the Savior bearing the sins of humanity. 2 Corinthians 5:21 affirms this, stating that He became sin for us, implying a suffering that included the spiritual separation from the Father. This painful experience of separation is depicted in His cry on the cross, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'—emphasizing the depth of His anguish. The scriptures affirm that none could endure what He did, marking His suffering as unparalleled.
