\"Jesus A friend forwarded me an email that really made me think about the pain and suffering Jesus went through for all of us to have Access To God.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to take a minute to read this, put it in perspective and give thanks to God the Father and Jesus Christ for their love, mercy, and grace of salvation (eternal heavenly spiritual life).<\/p>\n

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty<\/li>\n
  2. At the time crucifixion was the “worst” death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixtion Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.<\/li>\n
  3. Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.<\/li>\n
  4. The nails were driven into His wrist. Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There’s a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breath. <\/li>\n
  5. Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage. <\/li>\n
  6. Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours. <\/li>\n
  7. Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water from his wounds.<\/li>\n
  8. From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side. But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture.<\/li>\n
  9. He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds. The human adult body contains about 3.5 litres (just less than a gallon) of blood.<\/li>\n
  10. Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into his chest. <\/li>\n
  11. All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).<\/li>\n
  12. Jesus had to endure this experience, so that you can have free access to God.<\/strong> <\/li>\n
  13. So that your sins could be “washed” away. All of them, with no exception! Don’t ignore this situation. JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU! For you, who now read this. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).<\/li>\n
  14. He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried of what they may think about you.<\/li>\n
  15. Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD. <\/strong><\/a>
    \nSalvation Scripture
    \nRomans 10:9-13<\/p>\n

    9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. <\/p>\n

    John 14:6 <\/p>\n

    6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.<\/p>\n

    <\/strong> <\/li>\n

  16. If you are not saved, you DO NOT have direct Access To God and you DO NOT have all the benefit of all the promises God gives to those who are saved, those who have gone through the rebirthing of themselves through salvation<\/a>. But don’t worry, you don’t have to be good enough to be saved. God will accept you right where you are. He has done this for the worst criminals, the worst backsliders. There is nothing any of us can do to deserve this foregiveness of God. Instead it is a gift from Him because of His grace, mercy, and love for us! Thank God for that. So to ensure that you have Access To God and all the promises and blessings such as healing, prosperity, redemption, eternal spiritual life, you must be saved. All you have to do is to pray something similar to this: God I believe in you Heavenly Father. I believe in your only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus was birthed from the Virgin Mary. I believed Jesus walked this earth. I believe that Jesus was sent here by you for my salvation. I believe Jesus actually went to Calvary, was put on a cross and took on the burden of sin for me, my forefathers and foremothers and all to come after me. I believe that Jesus died on the cross at Calvary but on the third day after death, Jesus was resurrected. Jesus was risen to be in heaven with you Father God. And the Holy Ghost that Jesus gave up,dwells in me, the Holy Ghost in me is stirred up, it is awaken in me from this day forward. I ask Jesus to take over my heart. I ask for foregiveness of all my sins. I ask that any sin or anything that I’m not aware that displeases You Father God, that You make me aware of it so that I may ask for foregiveness and repent Heavenly Father. Jesus thank you for what you did for me and all my loved ones. Come into my heart and reign there forever, my Savior, my Lord, my King. I ask these things by the power, love, and redemption of the shed blood of Jesus. I ask these things with love and praise for you Heavenly Father. I am now a believer. And I ask these things in the name above all names, Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!<\/li>\n
  17. God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life! And feel free to send your friends the link to this blog posting:\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
