THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS

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, 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 tare and
brake, 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 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! Don't ignore this situation.


JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!





He died for you! It
is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried of what they may think
about you.




Accept
the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.


God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life!




All you have to do
is:

1. Simply pray for the person who sent this message to you:
2.Then, send this
message to 10 people..
More
if you wish.

3. 10 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.



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 is your Lord and Savior.




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.
