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
condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, for unlike other criminals
condemned to death by crucifixion Jesus was nailed to
the cross by His hands and feet, rather than tied...
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 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 for long because of the pain,
so He was forced to alternate between arching His back and 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 remember the many wounds
made to his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrists, the feet overlapped and a nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. And... 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 (two to three inch 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 5 liters (just over a gallon) of blood.
Jesus poured all 5 liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His
body; 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 beam was almost 30 kg of weight, to which His hands were nailed).
Jesus had to endure this
experience, so that you may have free access to
God.
So that your sins can be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this.
JESUS CHRIST DIED...FOR YOU!
For you, who now read this e-mail.
Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).
He died for you! It is easy to e-mail jokes or silly photos, but when it comes to God, sometimes we feel ashamed to forward a message about Him on
to others. We are worried of what they may think.
Accept the reality, the truth, that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.
God has special plans for YOU! Share this with all your friends...
about what He went
through to save you. Really think about it!
May God bless you!
For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if Satan can stop this.
All you
have to do is:
1. Pray for the person who sent this message to you.
2. Send this message to 10 people...More if you wish.
3.That way, 10 people will pray for you and you will encourage many people
to pray to God for others.
4. Take a moment to appreciate the power of God in your
life,
as you do 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".
If you believe, send this message... But send it only if you believe in Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my Savior.
He keeps me alive and safe, both day and
night.
Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13.
