THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS
At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.
That was then the 'worst' death. Only the worst criminals could die like Jesus.
And with Jesus things were worse because not all the criminals condemned to death could receive nails on their hands and feet.
Of course nails... Big nails! Each was 15 x 20 cm long, with a point of 6 cm. Another point was sharp.
The nails were carved into the pulses (wrists), and not into the palms, as we are used to hearing... In the pulse there's a tendon which extends to the shoulder and when the nails were being hammered that tendon broke, obliging Jesus to reinforce all the muscles of his back, so that he could breath as He was losing all the air from his lungs.
In this way, He was forced to support Himself onto the nail carved into his feet, which was bigger than those carved into his pulses, for both feet were carved together. And, as his feet could not endure for a long time without tearing, Jesus was forced to alternate that 'cycle' so that He could breath.
Jesus endured that reality over 3 hours. Yes, over 3 hours! Long time, isn't it? A few minutes before He died, Jesus was not bleeding anymore. He was simply pouring water from his cuts and holes.
When we imagine Him injured, we only picture Him with injuries, but it is not enough; His wounds were true holes, made into his body.
He had no more blood to bleed, He only poured water. Human body is composed of nearly 3.5 liters of blood (for an adult).
Jesus poured out 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 shoved a spear into his side.
All this without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 km, while the crowd spat on 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 pass all 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. HE 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 or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried about what they may think about your morals.
Accept the reality, the truth that 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 on this! May God bless your life!
60 seconds with God... During 60 seconds, leave whatever you're doing and seize 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: Lord, you know better than I the life of _________. I ask You to bless him/her in all realms and make him/her prosperous. Take care of his/her family, his/her health, his/her work and all his/her plans for this year. Lead him/her not into temptation, but deliver him/her from evil. In Jesus' name, amen. 2.Then, send this message to 10 people. 3. Once, 10 people will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God for other people.
4. Think a moment and appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing what pleases Him.
If you are not ashamed in doing this, please, follow Jesus' instructions. He said (Matthew 10:33): 'But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven'. If you are not ashamed, send this message... Only if you believe in Him. Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my Saviour. He keeps me alive day and night.. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him 'I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me'. Philippians 4:13.
This is the simple proof. If you love God and you are not ashamed for all things He has done for you, send this to all those you love.
