THE GREATEST MIRACLE

This is a very graphic site. I felt compelled
to do it. I feel so many of us have lost the true
meaning of Easter. If, just one person
may understand the pain God felt giving his
son, to save our lowly souls, it will have
been worth it.
How did the crucifixion and resurrection, of
our Savior, turn into a silly bunny, jelly
beans and a fashion show at church.
Children learn what they are taught.
May God forgive us. I am guilty, too.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Crucifixion
To remind us of God's great love!

What is crucifixion?
A medical doctor provides a physical description: The
cross is placed on the ground and the exhausted man
is quickly thrown backwards with his shoulders against the
wood. The legionnaire feels for the depression at the front
of the wrist. He drives a heavy, square wrought-iron nail
through the wrist deep into the wood. Quickly he moves
to the other side and repeats the action, being careful not
to pull the arms too tightly, but to allow some flex and
movement. The cross is then lifted into place. The left
foot is pressed backward against the right foot, and with
both feet extended, toes down, a nail is driven through
the arch of each, leaving the knees flexed.
The victim is now crucified. As he slowly sags down with
more weight on the nails in the wrists, excruciating fiery
pain shoots along the fingers and up the arms to explode
in the brain - the nails in the wrists are putting pressure on
the median nerves.
As he pushes himself upward to avoid this stretching
torment, he places the full weight on the nail through
his feet. Again he feels the searing agony of the nail tearing
through the nerves between the bones of his feet. As
the arms fatigue, cramps sweep through his muscles,
knotting them deep relentless, and throbbing pain.
With these cramps comes the inability to push
himself upward to breathe. Air can be drawn into
the lungs but not exhaled. He fights to raise himself
in order to get even one small breath.
Finally, carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs and in the blood
stream, and the cramps partially subsided. Spasmodically,
he is able to push himself upward to exhale and bring in
life-giving oxygen. Hours of limitless pain, cycles of
twisting, joint-renting cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation,
searing pain as tissue is torn from his lacerated back as
he moves up and down against rough timber. Then another
agony begins: a deep, crushing pain deepin the chest
as the pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to
compress the heart. It is now almost over. The loss
of tissue fluids has reached a critical level. The compressed
heart is struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood
into the tissues. The tortured lungs are making frantic
effort to gasp in small gulps of air.
He can feel the chill of death creeping through his tissues.
Finally, he allows his body to die.
I will gladly give credit to the author, if notified.
Would you do this to your son to save
the souls of undeserving sinners?
What a wonderful God we have!
Praise God, he is alive today, and
I for one, plan on meeting him
in that grand renunion in the sky!
"HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE"
FOR
HE IS RISEN, and is ALIVE TODAY
