(CS4U) 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, 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 Hisbody; 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. 

 (To avoid spamming I copied,  pasted and used BCC)  ~~Toni
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.
