He paid the price


Scientific Death of Jesus, take the 1 min to read, if you don’t cry, you may not understand who He really is. I pray the Holy Spirit awaken in each soul that reads, in Jesus Name! Amen!
For the next 60 seconds, set aside whatever you’re doing and take this opportunity! Let’s see if Satan can stop this.
At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death.
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 breathe. 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 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.
He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds. 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 suffered 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, to open the gates of Heaven, 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!
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.
God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life!
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 will deny before My Father in heaven.”

Jesus paid the price


You are adopted by God


We are chosen


Do good things for others


Life is not about getting “things” and being the best person you can be. It is about pleasing God through your service to Him and for His Kingdom. As you go about your daily life, try to consider others in your day. Help those that you can help, comfort those who are in need of comfort. Be the reflection of Jesus in their eyes because your actions may be the only sermon about Jesus they see or hear.

Only through belief in Him


Distracted


When Jesus was here His disciples were preoccupied with their ideas about the Messiah. Who He would be and what He would do occupied their minds so much that they nearly missed the One Who chose them to follow Him and learn from Him. In some ways, this same preoccupation keeps many people today from becoming disciples of Jesus. They hear all of the wonderful gifts we are given through our belief in Him, but they seem to have blinders that keep them from seeing Him as their Lord and Savior.

It’s like we are too busy with “things” in our lives that get in the way of our commitment and desire to know and follow Him. How can we commit some time to studying His Word every day? The only way I know is to have a Bible study app on my phone and follow it daily. Life gets in the way of our commitment to Him, which is the problem. We should give our troubles and our cares of this life to Him so we can learn how to be His disciples.

Many who go to church hear this wonderful news and yet their life gets in the way. Everyday worries and troubles cause them to become distracted from following Jesus. They don’t believe that they have become distracted because they still listen to God’s Word and pray but your day should begin and end with His Word and with prayer in between to keep you on your pathway.

God doesn’t get preoccupied. He takes care of the whole universe and He is interested in your daily life as well. Most of us don’t understand that God cares that much about each of us, not just as a whole but individually. Remembering what Jesus told His Father in His prayer for the disciples is humbling. “I pray that they will be one just as we are one”. His hope for us was to be as one and not splintered and divided like the church is today.

It seems that many of us get distracted from our walk with Jesus. Sometimes it happens as we leave the church on Sunday and it carries on through the week until we are back at church again. Think about Jesus being distracted from His mission. How would that have played out? Not very well I’d imagine because if He can get distracted then He can’t be God in the flesh! I’m sure He was tempted to “take a day” but He couldn’t. That is what I imagine those times that He went off by Himself to be with the Father were about.

We are to help each other


It is a radical idea for today but God says we are supposed to support and help each other as Christians. That doesn’t mean that we pay each other’s bills or buy each other’s groceries but don’t put a church down because they believe differently. Pray for each other and support every part of the Body of Christ, the church! Do we do this today? NO! We attack each other on social media and in other ways too. Why? Only God knows the real reason and He doesn’t like it at all.

Please pray for each other regardless of which church or denomination you are. If there is ever going to be a revival in America or the world, we MUST pray for each other.
