Crucifixion in the Bible - a Christian perspective
The account of Jesus' crucifixion and death. While it appeared that Christ had been utterly defeated, his true triumph would be apparent a few days later, when he rose from the grave.

Veil in the Bible - a Christian perspective
At the moment of Jesus' death, the veil separating the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple was split in two--a symbol of the justification that Christ's death and resurrection would bring.

"By his stripes" in the Bible: Isaiah 53:5
Through Jesus' brutal suffering and death, we are freed from sin. The wounds he suffered paradoxically mean spiritual health and freedom for us, an idea memorably stated in this prophecy from the Old Testament.

Forsaken - a Christian perspective
From the cross, Jesus cried out to God to ask why God had forsaken him on the cross. It's one of the few recorded sayings of Jesus during his final hours on the cross.

The Most Agonizing Race of All - #5876
The greatest tragedy of all would be if somehow you missed all He died for and you ended up in the hell that He died to save you from. But you have to take for yourself what He died to give you. You abandon all your faith in your religion, or your goodness, or anything else and you give yourself totally in total faith to Jesus Christ. The stakes of this choice are so high, they are so eternal, that it does not make sense to risk one more day without Jesus.

Jesus crucified in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Reading of how Jesus was crucified isn't easy because it's an ugly thing. We read of how his things were gambled away and how he was mistreated as if he was a criminal.

Your will - a Christian perspective
As his death neared, Jesus prayed that his fate might be averted--but even in doing so, he humbly submitted himself to God. He asked that God's will be done, even if it meant horrible suffering for Jesus.
