THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.

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 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
both hands and two legs together,
 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!

For you, 
who now read this post.
Do not believe that He only died for others 
(those who go to church or for pastors, bishops,
etc).
