THE (SCIENTIFIC) 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.

At the age of 33,

 

Jesus was condemned to 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!
