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 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 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! Think about what He went through to save you. Really think about
it!

May God bless you!
