Sixty Seconds For Jesus
For the next 60 seconds, set aside what ever 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
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 breath.
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 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 litres
(just less than a gallon) of blood.
Jesus poured all 3.5 litres 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 or foolish photos by e-mail, but
when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others
because
you are worried of what they may think about you.
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 about this! May God bless your life!
60 seconds with God...
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: Lord, you know
the life of _________. I ask You to bless him/her in all things and make
him/her
prosperous. Take care of his/her family, his/her health, his/her work and
all his/her future plans. Lead him/her not into temptation, but deliver
him/her
from evil. In Jesus' name, amen.
2. Then, send this message to 10 people.
3.10 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
Christ Jesus 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.
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 believe and trust in
salvation through Christ Jesus, send this to all those you love.
