Many people don't know that pain and suffering our
Lord, Jesus Christ went through for us...because of the brutality,
crucifixion was given a sentence to only its worst offenders of the law.
Thieves, murderers, and rapists would be the types of creeps who got
crucified. Yet, here Jesus is being crucified between two hardened
criminals... What did Jesus do? Did he murder anyone? Did he steal
anything? The answer as we all know is NO!! Jesus did nothing to deserve
this type of death, yet he went willing to die, in between two thieves,
so that we might be saved. And there, in between the sinners, was our
slain savior for our sins.
See, how the crucifixion effects on the body
according to a medical practitioner.
The cross is placed on the ground and the exhausted
man is quickly thrown; backwards with his shoulders against the wood.
The legionnaire feels for the depression at the front of the wrist. He
drives a heavy, square wrought iron nail through the wrist deep into the
wood. Quickly he moves to the other side and repeats the action, being
careful not to pull the arms too tightly, but to allow some flex and
movement. The cross is then lifted into place. The left foot is pressed
backwards against the right foot, and with both feet extended, toes
down, a nail is driven through the arch of each, leaving the knees
flexed. The victim is now crucified.
As he slowly sags down with more weight on the nails
in the wrists, excruciating fiery pain shoots along the fingers and up
the arms to explode in the brain- the nails in the wrists are putting
pressure on the median nerves. As he pushes himself upward to avoid this
stretching torment, he places the full weight on the nail through his
feet. Again he feels the searing agony of the nail tearing through the
nerves between the bones of his feet. As the arms fatigue, cramps sweep
through his muscles, knotting them deep relentless, throbbing pain. With
these cramps comes the inability to push himself upward to breathe. Air
can be drawn into the lungs but not exhaled. He fights to raise himself
in order to get even one small breath.
Finally, carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs and in
the blood stream, and the cramps partially subside. Spasmodically, he is
able to push himself upward to exhale and bring in life-giving oxygen.
Hours of limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint wrenching cramps,
intermittent partial asphyxiation, searing pain as tissue is torn from
his lacerated back as he moves up and down against rough timber. Then
another agony begins: a deep, crushing pain deep in the chest as the
pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart. It
is now almost over-the loss of tissue fluids has reached a critical
level-the compressed heart is struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish
blood into the tissues-the tortured lungs are making frantic effort to
gasp in small gulps of air. He can feel the chill of death creeping
through his tissues...Finally, he can allow his body to die... All this
the Bible records with the simple words, "and they crucified
Him" (Mark 15:24).
What a painful experience our Lord Jesus gone through
the cross for our Salvation? Oh! Marvelous love it is!!
SEVEN VERSES ON THE
CROSS
1. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they
know not what they do (Luke 23:34).
2. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee,
today salt thou be with me in paradise (Luke 23:43).
3. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the
disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman,
behold thy son! Then saith he to the the desciple, Behold thy mother!
And from that hour that desciple unto his own home (John
19:26-27).
4. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud
voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my
God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34).
5. After this, Jesus knowing that all things where
now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst
