Kaban ni Mulong: ANG PAGPALANSANG SA KRUS
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
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 realize His
wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large
nails through the wrists, the feet overlapped and an even larger 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.

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.
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 reads 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 it to others because you are worried what they may think about you.
Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY
SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.

For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing
and take this opportunity! Let's see if Satan can stop this.

2.Then, send this message to 10 people.

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 Christ Jesus is
your Lord and Savior.

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 Him who
