The Crucifixion | A Medical Perspective

This video is simply powerful! It's amazing to hear it from such a medical perspective.

I agree with his comment at the end. It's hard for me to sing about the cross joyfully, and personally I can't bring myself to wear jewelry with crosses on them because of that being a symbol of death. I liken it to wearing an electric chair or guillotine. No one would find that popularly acceptable, so why is it so with wearing crosses? (If a symbol of faith is to be worn, I much prefer an icthus or a trinity knot instead.)

The understanding this video adds to the horror of this great sacrifice leaves me in reverent awe of God, and all that He provides. In contrast, the gift of salvation that came from this act of love that only God could provide is truly something wonderful to be joyful about and sing praise to God!

I hope everyone had a good Good Friday, that you have a peaceful weekend, and a happy Easter Sunday!

1 Peter 2:21-24 (English Standard Version)

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
