Well that's debatable. I've read that at one point on record the Roman's hung 4000 Pharisees on the cross at one time. The Romans used the cross against all insurgents against the Roman occupation of the Holy Land.

But you are right. The Jesus answer to suffering and misfortune is to embrace it. "Take up my cross."
