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.
Oh man this broke my heart 💔 Tony Robbins speaks with a 12-year-old girl who bravely shares that she has been struggling with very dark and painful thoughts. During this emotional conversation, he responds with direct but compassionate honesty, asking thoughtful questions that encourage her to pause and reflect on the seriousness of those feelings and the love that surrounds her.
The discussion begins with the girl openly acknowledging how overwhelmed she has been. Tony gently challenges her perspective by asking her to think about what acting on those feelings would truly mean and whether that aligns with what she really wants deep down. Through this dialogue, he helps her recognize the conflict between wanting relief from pain and caring deeply for her mother.
He then shifts the focus outward, inviting her to consider how deeply her family—especially her mother—would be affected if she were no longer here. He explains that the impact would go far beyond immediate shock, touching her mother’s sense of meaning, joy, and connection. This moment underscores how powerful love and relationships can be during times of despair. You can see how heavy this is weighing on him… Mr. Robbins even holding back tears
Throughout the conversation, Tony emphasizes that while everyone has the freedom to make choices, each decision carries lasting consequences. He reassures her that intense emotional pain does not define who she is, and that difficult moments can pass with support, understanding, and connection.
