Way I see it, if I was born Son of God and knew that my father (God) existed and went on a great journey to be loved and persecuted by thousands. To spread a message that didn't require faith as I 'Knew' the truth. Where's my test? If I had a choice of a few years of pain for an eternity of joy or a few years of joy for an eternity of pain I know what I'd pick.
Sure he felt pain and had it bad. But more so than those dying in third world poverty today?
So my question is psychologically Did Jesus have it easy?

An umpleasant death, but one tens of thousands shared. Others suffer longer and worse fates. He didn't have it easy but millions of others have suffered more.

Perhaps through most of His life He did. However, while performing the atonement he suffered every pain, doubt, fear and sorrow of all. What I'm saying is: In the space of a few days He experienced a million times anything you or I have ever experienced...and you know, I personally prefer to have my difficulties spread out over time, it makes 'em more manageable.
thanks

Jesus did not have it easy. For a start he was brought up as a carpenter, and in those days you could not just go down to b&q and get your wood. He would have to have cut the tree down himself, and shaped it to what he wanted.As for his time before the cross, to be beaten up , have your beard pulled out by the roots, spat on, crown of thorns rammed on to your head, then flogged until the skin on his back was like raw meat, what do you think? had it easy, don`t think so

I would rather spend my life in eternity in happiness with Jesus..My life now is not the best but it is only because of the Grace of God He has brought me through things..Only Him..Nothing of me,,I screw everything up but His will is perfect and I thank Him He loves me enough..

No way, the bible says just before he was to be hung on the cross, he went to the garden and actually sweated and cried blood and ask the Father to take this cup (action) from it, it it is his will, how can that be easy.....imagine sweating blood???

On the basis that the story in the New Testament is true, then he did have it easy, relatively speaking

No He had it worse. Jesus stepping down from His heavenly form to ours is like us stepping down to an ants form. would you become an ant to try to redeem them. Jesus died "the" death so we would not have to, so He had it harder
