Episode 170: Luke 23 Part 2 The Crucifixion and Burial

It is amazing to me the hatred the religious leaders had for Jesus. They were supposed to be godly men and, knowing the scriptures, they were looking for the Messiah yet, from the very moment he made himself known, they tried to kill him! And now they are finally getting their way. Jesus, God in the flesh, is crucified and buried. In this episode, I share an article written by Cahleen Shrier, Ph.D called The Science of the Crucifixion. She details the process of the flogging and the crucifixion along with the effects they had on his body. She ends by saying, “I am struck every time with the stunning realization that as a flesh and blood human, Jesus felt every ounce of this execution. What greater love than this can a man have for his friends?” My question is, Why would anyone reject such love?”
