AND
THE GLORY
OF THE CROSS
Lesson 3
THE
CRUCIFIXION
OF JESUS
INTRODUCTION TO CRUCIFIXION
1. Crucifixion was probably
invented by the Persians, but
perfected by the ROMANS
2. Crucifixion destroyed human
dignity
It was DESIGNED to KILL MEN!
But, it was also designed to keep
them alive in horrible AGONY!
3. A DESCRIPTION:
A man was crucified naked
Nails pierced his wrists and legs
There was just a small amount of
blood. Main arteries not pierced!
It was difficult to breathe. To
exhale, the person must push up
with his feet, and endure pain!
THE DEATH
OF JESUS
IS THE MOST FAMOUS
DEATH
IN ALL HISTORY!
This was Pauls SERMON --Christ crucified! (I Cor. 2:1, 2)
PLEASE CONSIDER:
The Jews traded the life of Jesus
for a wretched criminal, Barabbas
An apostle, Judas, betrayed Him
Another apostle, His good friend,
Peter, denied Him
An illegal court sentenced Him
Evil men beat Him, and hardened
soldiers crucified Him
CONSIDER:
If Jesus HAD COME DOWN from
the CROSS, there would be NO
SALVATION for any of us!
The Jews are NOT NOW looking for
the Messiah!
They brought the blood of Jesus
on themselves and their children!
(Matthew 27:25)
CONSIDER;
The MOTHER and the BROTHERS
of Jesus must be saved as we are!
Before the birth of Jesus, MARY
SAID, My soul exalts the Lord,
and my spirit has rejoiced in God
my Savior (Luke 1:46, 47)
Mary had a SAVIOR also!
