No one had warm fuzzies at Golgotha. The bad guys won. Yeah, sure, we can talk about how the Savior rose again on the third day, conquered sin and death and opened the doors for the faithful to enter Paradise. So what? Glory abounds, and we will rejoice in it; but the glory came after rejection by friends and neighbors, after temptation in the desert, after hunger, flogging, crucifixion, death. It came after defeat. In short: Christ went to Heaven by going through Hell (both literally and metaphorically).
