Not only does it directly refer to Jesus Christ who said he is the son, & was scourged, but also to certain events in the Mahabharata, which predates it.
Lord Krishna, the latest of ten Incarnations of God in Hindu mythology, was very close to the Pandavas. But for most of their lives, the Pandavas endured untold sufferings.
Even though Kings, they never got to rule but wander in forests & remain incognito for many years. Even in the war, though Lord Krishna was present, he could not stop the unfair murder of his nephew, Abhimanyu, who was also the son of Subhadra, sister of Lord Krishna, who is also worshipped as a Goddess in her own right along with her brothers in the famous Rathyatra in Orissa.
Also at the end, He could not prevent the assasination of the five sons of Pandavas & Draupadi.
So whether in Christian theology, or Hindu mythology, love of God is seen to bring only a painful life!
