The Crucifixion
Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19
Jesus dies on the Cross for the sins of the world.
The Story
Jesus was condemned to death, scourged, crowned with thorns, and forced to carry His Cross to Golgotha — the place of the Skull. There He was nailed to the Cross between two thieves. From the Cross He forgave His killers, gave Mary to the beloved disciple as Mother, and finally said, 'It is finished,' and died. The sky grew dark. The earth shook. He had paid the price of our sins.
The Lesson
Jesus loved us so much that He was willing to die for us. Every Cross we see is a reminder of how loved we are.
