“Posterity will judge our generation for entertaining the faux comparison between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as though it were a genuine rivalry.”
Lionel Messi is the first player to score in SEVEN consecutive World Cup matches, a run that goes back to Argentina’s Round of 16 game against Australia in 2022.
In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.
In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress.
At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped.
A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.
Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!
The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion.
To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.
This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.
Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.
Thank You, Jesus.
Jesus died and rose again. Never to die again. Happy Good Friday! Happy Easter! Happy eternal life to all who believe in His name, and to all who will, soon!

We were impacted by Apostle @pst_iren’s teaching on “The Providence and Sovereignty of God.”🔥
He reminded us that God never reacts, He prepares.
Before a need arises, provision is already waiting.
Just like Abraham, as he climbed in obedience, the ram climbed too. Nothing in God’s will leaves you stranded.
Sovereignty is who God is.
Providence is His intentional involvement in every detail of our lives, the reason creative miracles are possible.
Your role?
Align. Obey. Move.
Because with God, the capital is GO. ❤️🔥
