Jud, what if your child's life was in danger, and the only way you could help them involved intense suffering on your part? Would you do it? Would that be noble, and in THAT way beautiful on your part? So given that for Christianity there is something even more important than life itself and suffering has an impact on it, why should it intrigue you that Christianity would see suffering as beautiful in that way?
