I cannot fathom all that Jesus suffered on the day of His death.
Physically, emotionally, spiritually
After the crowd shouted
"Crucify Him!"
Jesus is flogged and handed over.
"Crucify Him!"
Jesus is flogged and handed over.
Jesus is stripped.
Jesus is dressed up and mocked.
Jesus has a crown of thorns pressed into His head.
Jesus is spat upon.
Jesus is beaten, over and over again.

Simon of Cyrene is commissioned to help carry the cross.
They are led out to Golgotha.
Jesus is given wine and gall to drink
Jesus is nailed to the cross….

Jesus’ possessions are divided between the soldiers who gamble for them.
Jesus has the name “King of the Jews” placed above His head.
Jesus has robbers either side of Him, also being crucified.
Jesus is insulted by passers-by “Come down from the cross if you are the Son of God!”
Jesus is insulted by the Chief Priests and elders, “He’s the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him…”
Jesus is insulted by the robbers too.
Insult after injury…..
“My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?”
Wine vinegar….
Jesus cries out in a loud voice….

"Into Thy Hands..."
He gives up His spirit.

Jesus dies
Darkness…..
Darkness…..
Temple curtain torn
Earth shaken….rocks split
Tombs opened…dead raised

Tombs opened…dead raised
The soldiers replied,
Oh, that I may truly know the sacrifice He made for me,
that I had died to sin on the cross with Him.
The words, "It is finished." that released Him from the bonds of His earthly body, also have released sin's grasp on me!!
May we never forget that He took on all of our sins that day.
