Suffering of Highest degree

Suffering of Highest degree.

Jesus Suffered the highest degree of pain a person can go through. Crucifixion is the most cruel way of death penalty that is practiced at any point of time in the history of the world to incur maximal pain. The magnitude of pain He suffered is studied widely.

Jesus had to go through both emotional and physical pain. Both were equally painful.

# Flogged 39 times with whip which consisted of small pieces of bone and metal attached to a number of leather strands. This brought Jesus to the point of death. Flesh came out of Jesus’s body exposing mass of muscle and bone. Extreme blood loss occurred during the flogging.

# A crown of thorns was pierced into His head. The thorns were of 1 and 2 inch long. The blows on His head drive the thorns into the scalp causing severe bleeding.

# Even though His physical condition was so bad, He was forced to carry a heave cross. Many times He fell with the cross. He was almost at the verge of death and totally disfigured.

# Crucifixion process Jesus went through was utterly painful. Jesus was laid on it. Nails of 7 inch long were driven in the wrists causing extreme pain. Feet were nailed with knees bent.

# By this time Jesus suffered loss of blood and dehydrated state and lost all strength.

# When the cross was erected there is tremendous strain resulted in the dislocation of joints of shoulders and elbow joints.

# Jesus found extremely difficult to breath because of hangging position on the cross which resulted in severe cramps. Shallow breathing caused lung to collapse. Heart is stressed and eventually failed.

Some truths about the truth

We are living in a time where we are bombarded with lies all around although it was there from time immemorial. Now there is new way of teaching, spreading and convincing people that a bluff is true.

Before people used to say ‘camera can’t lie”, but now we get morphed images. News paper, News magazines, news channels were considered to be truthful. But they too are misleading the people. There are people who stopped reading newspapers now. Fake news is spread like wild fire. Social media and communication apps have now become agents and factory of spreading lies. In excitement, without checking, we too tend to spread the lies. We too become agents of spreading lies. Government is another major organization that gives out lies and manipulates the people. Religious people, teachers and  historians are also spreading deception without finding facts. Political parties does it with ease.

Question is “Are you a truth poster or truther?” A truther is someone who does not believe the generally accepted explanation for an event or situation and thinks it is the result of a secret plan made by powerful people.

There is power in true truth. What stands against the power is truth. Truth brings true freedom, otherwise the power manipulates the people with lies and people live as slaves of lies and power. Without truth there is no freedom. Truth can set you free. But it is important to know the truth. Let us seek truth and follow truth and spread the truth. Be a truther.
