I'm not sure that we, as limited mortals, can understand the pain and suffering that Jesus went through when he died for us. In the movie the Passion of the Christ a devil asked Jesus, "Don't you think the pains of the entire human race are too difficult for one man to take on?" Christ said yes of course, and he suffered and died for all of us. Those that came before him, those that came after Him.
These verses remind me that for any of us who call into His name, he will take on their sins as well and He will swallow the pain of every living creature. Sure, that doesn't mean that we won't feel pain or sadness in this life, but it means that he felt them before-and he'll continue to feel them until the end of time.
