Jesus' Death - 60 seconds to understand
60 seconds with God...
For the next 60 seconds, set aside whatever you're doing and take this
opportunity!
Let's see if Satan can stop this.
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
were 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 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 because of the pain, so He
was forced to alternate
between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breathe.
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 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 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 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 pass jokes and false witness emails but
when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because
you are worried of what people may think about you
Accept the reality and truth
JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.
God has plans for you, show all your friends what he experienced to save
you.
Now think about this! May God bless your life!
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. Simply pray for the person who sent this message to you:
2. Then, send this message to 10 people... More if you wish.
3. 10 people will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to
God for other people.
4. Take a moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing
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 Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Yes, I love God.
He is my source of life and my Savior.
He keeps me alive day and night.
Friends,
I suggest that upon received this email please watch 'The Passion of
Christ' movie.

ASK yourself this question: DO YOU THINK THE LORD IS HAPPY THAT YOU
celebrate HIS HOLINESS - HIS GLORIOUS RESSURECTION with BUNNIES and COLORED
EGGS ???
There are absolutely NO VERSES anywhere in the bible that authorize or
anyway support celebrating Easter!
The modern-day Easter is supposed to be a celebration of Christ's
resurrection, yet we incorporate such things as bunnies, and colored eggs, etc.
Once again, the origin of Easter, and these peculiar symbols, is rooted in
paganism. The Babylonian and Assyrian fertility goddess was Ishtar, whose name
may well have been the origin of the word Easter. She was the goddess of love,
and the practice of ritual prostitution became widespread, both men and women.
Like Halloween and Christmas, the origins of this day included
idol-worship, worshiping other gods, sexual perversion, etc.
We are told many times in the Bible to abstain from such behaviors;
Colossians 2:8 ~ GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
Be careful not to let anyone rob you [of this faith] through a shallow
and misleading philosophy. Such a person follows human traditions and the
world's way of doing things rather than following Christ.
Deuteronomy 12:8 ~ GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
Never worship in the way that it's being done here today, where everyone
does whatever he considers right.
Matthew 15:9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules
taught by men.'"
Mark 7: 7-9
7'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF
MEN.'
8 "Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men."
9 He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the
commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.
Isaiah 29:13 The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their
mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their
worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.
Deuteronomy 12:31,32 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way,
because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the
Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices
to their gods. See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away
from it.
in their way = the way of the pagan[world] à but you are
'Christian' so DON'T DO IT!
Leviticus 18:30 So obey my instructions, and do not defile yourselves by
committing any of these detestable practices that were committed by the people
who lived in the land before you. I am the LORD your God."
INSTEAD, Paul tells us to keep the Passover
1 Corinthians 5:8
Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of
malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and
truth.
1 Corinthians 11:
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body,
which is for you; do this in remembrance of me."
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is
the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of
me."
26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the
Lord's death until he comes.
Luke 22:
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide
it among you.
18 For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until
the kingdom of God comes."
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them,
saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup
is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
Deuteronomy 30:
11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or
beyond your reach.
12 It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, "Who will ascend into
heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?"
13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, "Who will cross the
sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?"
14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart
so you may obey it.
15 See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and
destruction.
16 For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in his
ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and
increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to
possess.
BE BLESSED AS YOU CHOOSE TO OBEY HIS COMMANDS!!!

*Also I heard The Lord says this today regarding Easter:
"Those who knowingly celebrate Easter and its deplorable traditions, hate
My resurrection, says The Lord."
