60 seconds with God…
For the next 60 seconds,
set aside whatever you’re doing and
take this opportunity!
THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS
At the age of 33, Jesus was c=ondemned to the death penalty.
At the time crucifixion was the “worst” death. Only the worst crimina=
ls were condemned to be crucified. Jesus was to be nailed to the cros=
s by His hands and feet.
Each nail was 6 to 8 inches l=
ong.
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 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 brea=
the.
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 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 we can have free access to God.
So that our sins could be “washed” away.
All of them, with no exception!
JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR US!
He died for us! It is easy to pass jokes
and false witness statements by e-mail,
but when it comes to God,
sometimes we feel ashamed to forward to others
because we are worried of what
they may think about us.
60 seconds with God…
For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you’re doing
and take this opportunity!
Take a moment to appreciate the power of God
in your life, for doing what pleases Him.
If you are not ashamed to do this, please,
follow Jesus’ instructions He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33):
“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.”
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.
Send this to all those you love.
“Peace I leave with you, my p=eace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let =
not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”.. A friend is someone who knows =
the song in your heart and sings it to you when you’ve forgotten =
