=== Jesus' Torturous Crucifixion (02:39) ===

[00:00:00]  At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death by crucifixion.
[00:00:05]  At the time, crucifixion was the worst death, believer.
[00:00:08]  Only the worst of the worst were condemned to this crucifixion.
[00:00:11]  So, where was Jesus right before this event?
[00:00:14]  He was in the garden of Gethsemane, seeking his father's face.
[00:00:18]  This is where he cried out, sweat blood, and Jesus knew his fate.
[00:00:22]  The Roman guards found Jesus and arrested him.
[00:00:24]  Jesus was taken, and this is where the crucifixion part begins.
[00:00:28]  Jesus is horrifically whipped and beaten in front of a laughing and mocking crowd.
[00:00:32]  Now, this is the same community who was just praising him, throwing their coats at his feet just shortly before.
[00:00:39]  The whipping was so bad that it tore the flesh from his body.
[00:00:41]  His face was torn and his beard was ripped from his face.
[00:00:44]  A whip with glass shards and other metal objects attached to the end of it going into his body, pulling out rips of flesh every time it was removed.
[00:00:53]  Then a Roman guard pierced his side with a spear, and more Roman guards mocked him as they shoved a crown of thorns deeply into his scalp.
[00:01:00]  Jesus had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from his wounds.
[00:01:04]  3.5 liters of blood removed from his body, believer.
[00:01:09]  A crown of thorns on his head, and beyond that, a Roman soldier stabbed a spear into his chest.
[00:01:14]  All of this without mentioning the humiliation that he suffered.
[00:01:17]  After carrying his own cross, a cross that was 66 pounds, he carried this for 1.5 miles.
[00:01:23]  The crowd laughed and mocked at him.
[00:01:25]  They threw stones at him while he was at his lowest.
[00:01:27]  Jesus was nailed to a cross by his hands and feet.
[00:01:30]  Each nail was driven into his wrist, and there is a tendon that extends from the wrist to the shoulder.
[00:01:34]  And the Roman guards knew this, and they knew that he would not be able to experience this pain without experience this experience without excruciating pain.
[00:01:43]  There's a tendon that extends from that wrist to that shoulder, and the Roman guards knew it would tear and rip.
[00:01:48]  Forcing Jesus to use his back muscles to support himself so that he could barely breathe.
[00:01:52]  Both of his feet were nailed together, and he was forced to support himself on the single nail that impaled his feet to the cross.
[00:01:58]  Jesus could not support himself with his legs because of the pain.
[00:02:02]  So he was forced to alternate between pain and pain.
[00:02:07]  He was forced to alternate between arching his back and letting his weight drop onto his feet, believer.
[00:02:13]  Imagine this struggle.
[00:02:15]  I really want you to.
[00:02:16]  Imagine this pain.
[00:02:17]  Imagine this suffering.
[00:02:20]  Imagine the courage.
[00:02:22]  Jesus endured this reality for over three hours.
[00:02:26]  Jesus went through this barbaric and horrific torture while getting mocked and laughed at by a crowd and died the most brutal death in history up until that point.
[00:02:34]  But why did he do this, believer?
[00:02:38]  Well, he did it because of me.
