Near The Cross

Описание: Good Friday is when Jesus was crucified and died on the cross. And it is also the reason why He came down to earth. When the soldiers came to the criminals on the cross, they broke their legs, but when they came to Jesus, they found that He was already dead. Crucifixion isn’t what they did for criminals to die, it was to shame people, and let them suffer to entertain the epitome watching. Usually they will hang there for days, until the people got tired. But on Friday, they needed to take the bodies down, because the next day was sabbath.

Now the reason why Jesus died on the cross, was because John 10:18 says “No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”

Since Jesus was God in human flesh, no one was able to put Him to death, even when the Jews wanted to throw Him down a cliff, He just walked away, no one could have taken His life, because He had that command from His Father.

Jesus loved us so much, that He himself laid down His life for us, He could have come down form the cross when the Jews asked Him to, but He knew that He had the same power to lay His life down for us, as having the power to take it again, which is what we will be celebrating on Sunday Morning, His Resurrection.
