Crucifixion Of Jesus Research Paper

935 Words4 Pages

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was and is a miraculous, horrible, and amazing thing all in one. Jesus was created by God, His father, and placed into Mary’s womb to be born as a sinless man. From the time that Jesus was placed in Mary, God knew His plan for Jesus and what He would have to do one day. God knew when he spoke man into existence that we would be sinless creatures in need of an almighty Savior. Even though I, and many others, hate to think about what our Savior went through, I believe it is important. To have knowledge on what Jesus went through for us shows the amount of love He has bestowed upon us. I am so thankful that He would give His perfect life for us sinners whose righteousness is as filthy rags. The talk about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was prophesied all the way back to Old Testament days. God let people know that there would be a Savior that would come, and He would save us from our sins. An example of this is Psalms 22:16 “15: My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16: For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.” (KJV Bible).

The people hated Him so much that he was chosen to be crucified over a murderer named Barabbas. They would rather have this wicked man walking around the streets than someone who would claim to be the King of the Jews. Prior to Jesus hanging on the cross, He was beaten to a state where some believe you would not be able to recognize who He was. Then He carried His cross to Golgotha where crucifixions take place. There were two others that were being crucified right by Him. One accepted Him as Savior before dying, which gave him a spot in Heaven, and the other died spending an eternity in Hell where he is burning to this very day (Elwell

    He seems to be feeling no pain even as he hangs on the cross. The lack of pain is starker when looked at in contract with the grotesque way in which Judas is depicted. The image stayed with me because it shows Jesus in serenity and not troubled by worldly problems. The image is an enhancement of his image as the son of God and as someone above the humdrum human existence. It is a face of someone who knows that this was planned, and so it must happen and he is not afraid.

    Equally if not more important would be the other sin both men are guilty of, blasphemy. Blasphemy in simple terms is to believe and act in a way, that one considers themselves higher than God, to whom Christians believe is the ultimate power; in many religions it is a sin that can result in being excommunicated entirely; not too ironically it was what Jesus himself, was accused of and one of the main reasons as to why the Jewish people wanted to kill Him in the first place. Blasphemy is more than simply taking the Lord’s name in vain, as it is in reality a sin of extreme arrogance and pride, because the translation of this sin is to claim that God is wrong and man, who in the hierarchy of things, is a weaker lesser lifeform, knows more than God. Adam was tempted into eating the forbidden fruit which came from the Tree of Knowledge because he believed he deserved to know as much as God.
