Do you gasp?

Elli was asking about Jesus dying on the cross. She knows he died and rose again to save us from our sins, but she wanted more detail. So, I began to tell her about the crucifixion. Se asked if Jesus cried, if He had blood, and if it hurt. I informed her in the positive on these points. Then I told her people were making fun of him and saying he wasn't really King Jesus, so they made an ugly crown for his head. I told her about the thorns being pushed into his head. She gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. We continued to talk about how Jesus did this for us even though it hurt because he loves us and wants us to be in heaven with him when we die.
After this conversation I started thinking about her little gasp. Why don't I gasp? Do you?
