by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and
knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.

portion of the New Testament.

Perhaps this is a reminder to us
That our sufferings here are indeed
minor compared to the intense
persecution and cold cruelty faced bythe apostles and disciples during their
times for the sake of the Faith. And ye
shall be hated of all men for my name's
sake: But he that endureth to the end
shall be saved.

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS
For the next 60 seconds, set asidewhatever Youre doing and take
this opportunity! Lets see if Satancan stop this.

At the age of 33, Jesus was
condemned to death. At the time
Crucifixion was the worstdeath.Only the worst Criminals were
condemned to be Crucified. Yet itwas 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. Theres a tendon in the wrist
that extends to the shoulder. TheRoman 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 him so that He could breath.
7/29/2019 How the Apostles Died
24/33
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 thepain so He was forced to alternate
between arching his back and using his
legs just to continue to breath. Imaginethe struggle, the pain, the suffering, and
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 waterfrom 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 onhis head and, beyond that, a Roman
soldier who stabbed a spear into his
chest.

All these without mentioning the humiliation
He suffered 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, to open the
Gates of Heaven, so that you can have free
access to God, so that your sins could be
washed away. All of them, with no
exception! Dont ignore this situation.

JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or
foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes toGod, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to
others because you are worried of what they
may think about you. God has plans for you;show all your friends what He experienced to
save you. Now think about this! May God bless
your Life! 60 Seconds with God. For the next 60seconds, set aside what youre doing and take
this opportunity! Lets see if Satan can stop
this. All you have to do is:

If you are not ashamed to do this,
please, follow Jesus instructions. Hesaid (Matthew 10:32 & 33):
Everyone therefore who
acknowledges me before others, I
also will acknowledge before My
Father in heaven; but whosoeverdenies Me before others, I also will
deny before My Father in heaven.

Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and
my Savior. He keeps me alive day and night.Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him I
can do all things through Him who
strengthens me.Philippians 4:13.
This is the simple proof. If you love God and
you are a believer and trust in salvationthrough Christ Jesus, send this to all those
you love.
