why is this the cutest thing ever 🥹

[Jesus is Christ @JesusisChristX]

In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ." It details the entire process, from Jesus' trial to his death on the cross. In Luke 22, before Jesus was arrested, it is described that he was in great distress and sweating blood.

Though rare, it is known as hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress. In that era, crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst criminals. But Jesus did not only suffer this. He was flogged with such severity that it tore his flesh.

They beat him so brutally that they tore his face and ripped out his beard. A crown of thorns 5 to 7.5 centimeters long was driven deeply into his scalp. The leather whip with which he was flogged had small iron balls and sharp bones attached.

The balls caused internal contusions, while the bones tore his flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, and intestines were left exposed, causing him massive blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture.

After being severely flogged, Jesus was forced to carry his cross while people mocked him and spat on him. Crucifixion was a process designed to inflict unbearable pain, leading to a slow and agonizing death.

Nails up to 20 centimeters long were driven into Jesus' wrists and feet. The Roman soldiers knew that the tendons in the wrists would tear and snap, forcing Jesus to use the muscles of his back to breathe.

Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...! Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours! The Gospel of John recounts that, after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water flowed out.

Scientists explain that, due to hypovolemic shock, tachycardia causes fluid to accumulate in the membrane surrounding the lungs and heart.

This accumulation of fluid in the membrane surrounding the heart is called pericardial effusion, and in the lungs, pleural effusion. To the world, Christianity is foolishness. They believe it is for the weak. But when one confronts the reality of the cross, it is clear that it is not a pleasant image. It is brutal and horrifying.

This is the weight that Jesus bore. The weight of the world's sins, all so that we may live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took.

Repent and believe! Jesus is "God with us" incarnate. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that he endured this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.

Jesus is the LORD, God Almighty, Everlasting Father.

Thank you, Jesus.

They say the devil hates his servants the most.

Here's why...

This painting is called Allegory of Satan, or Lord of the World, painted around 1900 by the Polish artist Ludwik Stasiak. It is not the devil you might expect. There are no flames, no chaos and no horns leering out of the dark. Stasiak painted something far more unsettling.

Here the devil sits enthroned like a ruler of the world, with a sardonic grin on his face, surrounded by the symbols of earthly power: wealth, ambition, domination, and death. Evil, he suggests, never arrives as something horrifying that we instantly reject. It arrives as something attractive. It looks like success. It looks like money, and status, and control. It looks like everything the world tells us to want.

And that is what makes the painting feel so modern, more than a century after it was made. Stasiak was working at the turn of the twentieth century, an age obsessed, like ours, with progress and fortune and getting ahead. And he was warning that the most dangerous evil is not the kind that frightens us, but the kind that seduces us, the kind we serve willingly because it promises to make us powerful.

Which brings us back to the old saying. Look closely at what lies beneath his throne. Scattered at its base are the skulls of the powerful, still wearing their crowns and their helmets in death, the very people who traded their souls for money and power. And he sits above them, amused, because the joke is on them. This is why the devil hates his servants the most. He does not respect them for serving him. He despises them for it, because they handed over the only thing that ever mattered in exchange for things that rot.

That is the real power of the painting: Stasiak did not depict a devil we would run from, he painted a devil we would kneel to, and follow, and call our lord, mistaking our own chains for a crown. He was only giving form to a warning as old as the Gospels themselves: "No one can serve two masters. You cannot serve both God and money."

Fr. Ripperger: “Demons have a principle: ‘Anything but God. ANYTHING but God.’ If they can get you totally hung up about some particular issue [state of the world, the Church, etc.] & get you focused on that, they know they’ve got you derailed because you’re NOT focusing on God.”

A powerful moment of faith is going viral as a mother, navigating the challenges of dementia, is seen fully immersed in a virtual Bible study. Despite her diagnosis, her relationship with Jesus remains unbroken as she claps, worships and still remembers the name of the Lord Jesus
