It wasn't nails
that held Jesus
on the cross,
it was grace,
it was compassion,
it was mercy,
it was the
love of God.

For God so loved the World
that he gave his
only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth
in Him shall not perish
but have everlasting life...
John 3:16

I think you're right, James. I've concluded that there has to be suffering of some sort before we are as we should be.
