Forgiveness is something that can not be fully explained. No matter the offence you should always forgive. I have never really had to forgive some one for something that was a really big thing, but with THE LORD’S help I should be able to do so no matter what it is. CHRIST has forgiven us beyond belief. HE hung on a cross. Let me explain what that would feel like. I can not do so in reality because I have never been hung on a cross before but I shall try. Picture this; you are lying on a cross that is lying on the ground right now. Everyone is spitting and laughing at you. Suddenly a few people grab your arms then you legs. Then another man starts to hammer a nail through you hand.
Let me take a second to put some infuses on that. A NAIL BEING HAMMERED THROUGH YOUR HAND REALLY HURTS. I have not had one hammered through my hand but I had a screw go almost all the way through. It was not actually through HIS hands it was through hit wrists. Your hand will not hold you body wait if they are just nailed to a board. Let’s get back to the pain.
You are yelling and screaming for you life, you are praying to the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD. There is nothing you can do but sit there through the pain. Then they nail nother one through you other hand. The pain is just as bad, and now they start on you feet I am not sure how they de that but I am almost positive that is harts worse then the hands. Now comes the real pain they lift you up so that you are now being supported by the nails that are driven through your hands and feet. You can not breathe unless you pull yourself up by the nails that are driven through your wrists. Then suddenly you are stuck in the side with a spear. Here is a picture of what that spear most likely looked like.
Now if you can say that CHRIST has nut suffered greatly for your forgiveness then I think you need to spend some time with GOD. That is not even all of it HE did all this even though we sinned directly against HIM.

AMEN!!!!!!!
Amen!And don't forget that they pulled out his beard and wiped him until it was turn over like the farrows in the field and a crown of thorns stuck in his head.
I was watching the Passion of Christ the other day and it is a good picture of just what Christ went through for us.Even though it was made by a chatholic,Mel Gibson did a good job on the visual side of Christ's death and the things the Romans and Jews did to him.
But one thing we must always remember,no matter what,is that Christ DIED,for cryin' out loud,so that we might be forgiven.IF we chose to accept Him as our Lord and Saviour!!!AMEN!!
I meant *whiped* but you know what I mean**
Thanks I forgot about that perart
*Part*
AMEN!! HE went through so much for us! HE has forgiven us of our sins! Praise the LORD!!!
That's just so amazing what Christ went through for us wicked sinners. And what you described is only the half of it! The spiritual part was much much worse than the physical pain. imagine having to bear ALL of God the Father's wrath for every single sin of the elect! Then having God turn his face away from you, until it was FINISHED. Now THAT is indescribable because no one on earth has experienced such agony except Christ alone. And all that out of LOVE for those who constantly sin against His holy name!!
I LOVE YOU JESUS!!!!!!!
You know I do not think I have ever thought of it in that way before.
We all Love Jesus!!
yah, the bible says after they were done whiping Him, he didn't even look human. and don't forget that He didn't utter a word.
wow, i don't remember ever reading that...can someone tell me the reference where it talks about Jesus not looking human after he was whipped?
Beth, must have a different Bible version than mine,because mine just says he was flogged.
"Just as there were many who were appalled at Him, His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form marred beyond human likeness." Isaiah 52:14 (NIV)
wow that's amazing...thanks bethy
