If a person dies, supposedly their life flashes before their eyes. Does this mean that Jesus, who shared a special connection to everyone on the planet, saw everyone who ever did and will exist flash before his eyes as he suffered and waned for hours on end?

A day late for Good Friday, but since when have I ever been able to submit anything on time anyway. -_-

This thing, surprisingly, is only about 5 x 8 inches long. Somehow I've managed to make a grand scale on a small amount of space. I like it!!

Some interesting conversation below:

"I think at least according to Christianity, he had a connection with people because he was their creator. But that doesn't mean he lived their lives. God and creation are separate in Christianity, so he would see his own life flash, 33 very peculiar years, though not those of others."

Well, if God is omniscient, and Jesus is God (part of the Trinity, or actually divine, depending on which denomination you ask) then I think it's reasonable to speculate that he could see into the lives of others. The Bible says he knew peoples' names and situations before they told him anything a good number of times.

I don't know that God and creation are "separate," per se. Maybe in the way that a painting is "separate" but at the same time part of the artist. And he's definitely not separate from humans specifically, as he dwells in each of us and knows our thoughts.

At least, coming from a Christian perspective.

I don't personally believe that God can see into the future with certainty or exact accuracy because of free will, so maybe I should qualify that if Jesus did see other lives, it was probably people that had already passed away or were alive at the time.
