Inspiration

Easter is coming up soon. Read what actually happened on that day at the cross.

While celebrating the seasons of his birth and death and life, let us not forget why he was born and died and rose!

60 seconds with God...

For the next 60 seconds, set aside whatever you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if Satan can stop this.

              THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS



At the age of 33,
Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.

At the time, Crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst Criminals were condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by

        Crucifixion, Jesus was to be nailed to the
              Cross by His hands and feet.

                   
            
             Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.

The nails were driven into His wrists.  Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder.  The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tear and break forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breathe.

            

Both of His feet were nailed together.  Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross.  Jesus could
Not support himself with His legs because of the pain, so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to Breathe.  Imagine the struggle, the pain, the Suffering, the courage.

                     Jesus endured this
               Reality for over 3 hours!

Can you imagine this kind of Suffering?  A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water from his wounds.

From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side.  
But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body.  A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and
beaten.  The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body.  The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from his face.  The Crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp.  Most men Would not have survived this torture.

          

Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His members; a crown of  thorns on His head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His
Chest.

All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying His own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where His hands were nailed).



Jesus had to endure this experience, so that you can have free access to God. So that your sins
Could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception!

         JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!

            


If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, please pass this link on to others; For Christ said, "Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before My Father in heaven; but whosoever denies Me before others,  I also will deny before My Father in heaven".

    

Blessings to all who have visited to read this, please spend at least 60 seconds to meditate on this, and pray for the world.
