After spending three years on earth performing miracles.Jesus was condemned to death at age 33.

At the time Crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst death sentence given to criminals and Jesus was condemned to be crucified. Yet it was
Even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike
Other criminals condemned to death by
Crucifixion Jesus was to be nailed to the
Cross by His hands and feet.

The nails which was 6-8 inches long were driven into His wrist.
Not into His palms as is commonly seen on pictorial view of it. There's a tendon in the wrist that
Extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tear and break forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breath.

So Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering , the courage for going through pain you know nothing about but for your love ones.

Jesus endured this for over 3 hours.

Yes,
Over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering and pain?

We see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound by his side........ But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and even large nail hammered through the arches, then a
Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body.

Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

The beating so horrific that his face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most man wont have survived this torture but he did.

He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from his wounds.
The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters of blood.

He had three nails hammered into His
Body,one on each hands and one on his foot, a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His
Chest......

All these without mentioning the humiliation He suffered after carrying His own.
Cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones, the cross was almost 30 kg of weight.

Jesus had to endure this experience, to open the gate of Heaven, so that I and you can have free access to God.
