Subject: THE DEATH OF CHRIST
The Death of Jesus
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 ..
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 wrist. 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
breath.
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
breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the
suffering, the courage.
Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours.
Yes, 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.
He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His
wounds.
The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters
(just less than a gallon) of blood.
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 suffered 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, to open the
Gates of Heaven,
so that you can have free
access to God.
So that your sins
could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception!
Don't ignore this situation.
JESUS
CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!
He died for you!
God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced
to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your
life!
60
seconds with God...
For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing and take
this opportunity!
All you have to do
is:
1. Simply pray for the person who sent this message to
you:
2.Then , send this message to people.. The more the better.
3. People will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God
for other people.
4. Take a moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for
doing what pleases Him.
Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my Savior. He keeps me alive day
and night.
Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Him
who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13.
This is the simple proof. If you love God and you are a believer and trust
in salvation through Christ Jesus, send this to all those
you love
