Examples Of Crucifixion

All Christians believe that Jesus is their savior, but there are many different ways his death can be interpreted. One of the ways we can look at Jesus’s death his through historical accounts. Almost all historians believe that there was a man named Jesus who had a large following, and was put to death by the Romans. But why, from a historical point of view, would Jesus be crucified? One major reason is that the Romans seen Jesus as a political threat. The Romans view order as the most important thing in their empire, and around that time there was a zealot uprising. Then, they see Jesus preaching about the coming of his “Kingdom” and so they thought that he was leading a revolution. Therefore, Jesus was executed at the hands of the Romans for being a Lestes, meaning bandit or outlaw. However, Jesus

Towards the end of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is crucified on the cross for saying that he is the son of God. This suffering was seen by his followers, onlookers, and those who crucified him. This wasn't a painless death; it was true suffering, as shown when jesus says “My god, my God, why have you forsaken me?”(43). The redemption in Jesus’ suffering is that it allows people to fully believe in him by giving his followers, and even those who aren't his followers, a sign of how much he really cares. Jesus cared so much that he died for his followers, and the people respond to this

This kind of teaching threw the entire religious sect into uproar but we see Christ remain true to His original calling and not His unwillingness to submit His character to reproach. He stood beside all His ideals and teaching knowing that every second that it would eventually cost Him His life.

This semester has been a revelation for me in my spiritual walk and building relationships with others. I have taken what I have learned in this class to bless others and encourage them that they can make it because God loves them. During the times of witnessing and servant hood, I have found so, many people that just want someone to listen and love them. My perception of people has changed because now I feel that I am more compassionate now, sensitive to the needs of others, humble, loving, and willing to be servant.

The first thing that comes to someone's mind when they think Jesus is about the cross. Jesus was beaten, tortured and died on the cross. He was murdered by those who believed he was anything but a good man. He willingly went through the torture and beating because that was what he was told to do by the Lord. Jesus knew he had to die to save all of our souls. He died to wash away all our sins, and now when we sin we can pray for forgiveness and automatically be forgiven by the Lord. Jesus knew this most of his life, and was ready and willing to give up his life for us.

am called to share the compassion I was shown, to live it, and to pass it on. Through my words

Jesus’s death turned him into a martyr, catapulting him into prominence as the saviour of Man in the eyes of God. Jesus’s widely known trial, death, and alleged rising set off a chain that caused him to be thought of as the son of God, and eventually caused his death to be one of the most celebrated events in the western world. The speculations surrounding the night before his death also shed an interesting light upon the way in which he died, emphasizing that, unlike what it may seem, Jesus was actually rather reluctant to embrace his death as a victory. In Mark chapters 14:32-42, Jesus tells his disciples “My soul is

There were a number of complexities directly related to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The majority of these pertain not only to the reason for his crucifixion but also for popular interpretation of this act and the significance attributed to it. Jesus taught and did much that was contrary to both Jewish and Roman conceptions of law and religion. Many of his transgressions were also directly related to the nature of his death and the significance it would later on take. Both Romans and Jews sought Jesus' death because he was ecclesiastically and politically subversive, professing a tolerance and equality that was ultimately proven by the dramatic nature of his death and its consequences.

Isaiah 43:21 reveals God’s purpose in creating us; to give Him praise through worship. As a leader/minister, preaching the gospel, teaching, providing an environment conducive to growth and flourishing, reproducing the character of Christ, and leading others to worship and delight of God is my real responsibility. Matthew 28:19-20 says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the ages.”

Currently, I am serving in a mission field, my campus, as each day I have been given access to academic scholars, staff, and students who represent different cultures and religions. Our campus is a revolving door that allows for opportunities to share the gospel. While accepting Christ in my late 30’s I did not understand His love or forgiveness for many years. It is through these truths of His love that I can speak with conviction of His love for all people. Aided through the leading of the Holy Spirts, and the life lessons learned, I can speak of the saving grace of God, His love and His desire for all to know Jesus as Lord, and Savior. It is through God’s guidance and His Word that allows me to share His promises to those who are lost and

Since Christ was resurrected conquering death as see in I Corinthians 15:14 we know that victory over death is inevitable. Even God saw it important for humanity to know His will concerning life and death. There were four reasons why Christ was raised from the dead:

This is the curse Jesus had, and the one no one should forget. Jesus Christ willingly became a curse. According to Deuteronomy 3:13, anyone who hangs on a tree is cursed, and according to Acts 5:30, the Jews viewed the cross as a tree: “The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree.” Jesus Christ was the only one who should be blessed by God, but He chose to be cursed by God in order for humans who are cursed by God be blessed by God. He became our substitute; He took our spot.

Jesus had to carry his own cross, that probably weighed two times his size, all the way up to wear the crucifixion was going to take place. Already beaten and bloody, they lay him down onto the cross shaped piece of wood and begin by nailing his hands and feet into it and standing the cross up into the air. What a brutal sight it must have been for God to see his only son tortured like this, but the good news is that he knew what his plan was for Jesus and for his people and he knew what was going to happen after all this was over. Jesus died hanging from that cross, washing all of our sin away and paying the ultimate sacrifice. After he died he was wrapped in a white cloth and placed into a tomb with a boulder sealing the door to the outside world. Three days after being placed in there, the people went to check up on the tomb to find that the boulder was pushed aside and the white cloth was folded neatly where Jesus was laying. The son of God, the Messiah, rose again from the dead to fulfill his mission so that we may have everlasting life in God’s kingdom. God’s plan for our life and through Jesus he teaches us that if we follow in God’s word and make him our most prized possession and ask for him to be in our hearts that we may to “escape the penalty that God will execute upon all who have broken His

When Jesus arrived to Golgotha, He was nailed to the cross and soon after dies. The symbol of Jesus’ crucifixion is what Christians live by. It represents Jesus sacrificing his life to save humanity from their evil sins. When He died, He was taken down from the cross and was buried in a tomb, where He resurrected into Heaven and was seated at the right Hand of God. Jesus’ resurrection symbolizes two things. First, it proves to Christians that Jesus is the Son of God (Curtis). In the Bible, Paul affirmed that Christ is declared to be the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead (Rom. 1:4). Second, Jesus’ resurrection represented an assurance that all of humanity is saved and forgiven for their sins (Curtis).

The most impactful and visual image is when someone is nailed on to the cross. Yes, here I am talking about the story of Jesus Christ facing the crucifixion. In the movie, Son of God, the crucifixion of Jesus is powerfully illustrated. The movie focus on the narration of Jesus Christ from birth, life, sacrificial death, resurrection and the ascendance. However, the Hollywood encouraged by the church focused on the scene where Jesus was flogged and then carried his cross up on to the “skull.” Where he was physically nailed and placed upon that cross and suffered a humiliating death. This film played throughout many movie theaters around the United States and even the world. Therefore, many people witness the crucifixion of Jesus on the big
