In 1986, The American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross. In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, caused by high amounts of stress. At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horrific that His face was torn & His beard ripped. A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels we're exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His own cross while people mocked & spat on Him. Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendon in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage..Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours! The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heartrate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The gathering of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called Pericardial effusion & the lungs, Pleural effusion. To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific. This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much, He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine. Jesus is LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.

God bless the person watching this! ❤️

The Bible is not about hating anyone, It’s about loving God. It doesn’t teach us to condemn sinners, It teaches us to hate sin and preach to every sinner the gospel of Jesus Christ.

If you knew someone you deeply loved was in grave danger because they didn’t know a truth that could change everything, wouldn’t you do everything in your power to tell them? If you discovered a truth so profound that it transformed your life from the inside out, wouldn’t you want to shout it from the rooftops? I am not talking about a mythical figure. I am not talking about a religion. I am speaking about the Infinite God, who has always existed, who has no beginning and has no end, who exists outside of the confines of time, space, and matter as we know it. God is powerful. His greatness is beyond understanding. And the knowledge and the wisdom, love, and mercy He has shown to me personally is so great and profound. It is the deepest love that I’ve ever experienced. I’m able to trample on demons and serpents and scorpions, spiritually. I’m a spiritual warrior. I swing my sword with power and might in the spiritual realm. I have authority over the devil and all his weapons that almost took my life. Jesus is not just a part of my life. He is the reason I have life, and I’ve surrendered my entire life to worship Him, proclaim His name, and to lift Him up in glory day after day, breath after breath, because He is my Creator and the God who’s rescued me from not just hell, from depression, from addiction, from suicide, from every kind of sin that used to hold me back in life in every way. I want you to know the God who created you that can literally transform you, because God’s love is real and unconditional, but we also have free will, and we must choose to love Him back. A one-sided relationship doesn’t last. Love exists from God’s end, but we have the free will to choose to reciprocate that love toward Him. Whoever is reading this, I pray that your eyes and heart would be open to the love of God. It is the single most important thing that I can share with you, and I do this from a place of true love and concern for your soul. Give your life to Jesus Christ. You never know when you’ll take your last breath. God bless the person reading this. ❤️
