John 19 is about give details about the crucifixion. We talked about this at camp. I really thought about all the pain and suffering He went through during the crucifixion. When pastor Kyle explained it, it had me in tears the rest of the night. It's just amazing how God loved us so much he put himself through all of that. The first part of this chapter is about how Jesus got the crown of thorns stuck in his head. They stuck the crown into Jesus' head so far they were not able to move it. This just hurts me thinking about it! This first part also talks about the whipping Jesus went through. There was not one part on Jesus' body that did not get whipped. He got whipped 10 times continually if that makes sense. Pilate tries to realease Jesus, the Jews refused to let that happen. The Jews remind Pilate that Jesus is the Son of God. After that Pilate then asks the people again. The people reply Jesus needs to be crucified. Jesus was then taken to the crucifixion. Jesus it pinned on this cross. His hands are nailed to the wooden cross with heavy rail road like nails. His feet are on top of each other and they stick a nail through both of Jesus' feet, his knees are bent. Jesus is hanging on the cross with only his hands. After all of this Jesus was to drag the cross until he was brought to death. His muscles were weakened by every step he took. They put a white sheet on Jesus, over all of his open wounds and cuts. The next day all the blood was dried to the sheet. The white sheet was bleached red with all of his blood! As they rip off the white sheet all of his cuts are open again and start bleeding again! Jesus claims he was thirsty. They soak a sponge in vinegar and put the sponge on a stick and raise it up to Jesus. After this Jesus dies. The Jews request Jesus to be buried. Pilate agrees to bury Jesus. His body is then prepared to be buried.
