For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.

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.

One life, its worth a shot

The donkey that carried Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday refused to leave His side. It stood in the shadow of the cross during the crucifixion. Its descendants now carry the image of the Cross on their backs.

It's all real.

DeMeco Ryans after the Texans defeated the Chargers:

“The light is shining bright on the Texans but that light is really reflective of it guys belief in our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. That’s what’s driven our team& I’m so proud of our guys & thankful to the Lord for allowing us to allow our lights to shine though him & just all praise & honor goes to him.”

They close the path to fatherhood because a man who loves his child the way God loves him cannot be controlled. he has tasted the divine and knows the difference between their laws and His law. The father holds his newborn and suddenly understands sacrifice, suddenly understands unconditional love. This knowledge is dangerous. A man who knows God through fatherhood does not need their institutions, their permissions. So they poison it. They tell him fatherhood is slavery. They tell him his children are burdens. They build a world where becoming a father is considered failure instead of ascension. The path remains but they have hidden the gate

The next time you begin to doom, ask yourself who profits from your despair?

Who wins if you lose?

You should defy this.

Friendly reminder:

if you’re being pressured into a decision it is rarely for your benefit,

“Should” is the most oppressive word in the English language.

So many of the rules you live by are painfully illusory - and completely made up.

Life improves drastically when you realise you can disregard most of them.

True success — with blissful days, and smiling sleep— is to get what you want out of life without violating the lives of others.

And you’ll have to break some rules and expectations to get there.
