I just read the medical autopsy of a crucifixion (I can't stop crying) 😭

I've seen all the paintings of Jesus on the cross, but I never actually understood the physiological mechanics of crucifixion until today. The Romans designed it to be the ultimate torture. You don't die from blood loss. You die from slow asphyxiation. To take a single breath, Jesus had to push up on the nails in His feet, scraping His scourged back against the raw wood, just to get air into His lungs. Every single word He spoke from the cross required unimaginable physical agony just to inhale. He literally suffocated for hours. He fought for every breath so that He could use them to say, "Father, forgive them." I will never read the crucifixion story the same way again. #TheCross #MedicalBible #JesusSacrifice #UnfailingLove

I asked a doctor about Luke 22:44 (and my mind is blown) I always assumed "sweating drops of blood' was just a dramatic figure of speech written by Luke to show Jesus was stressed. But 1 looked into the medical side of it. Luke was a physician, and he was describing a very real, rare clinical condition called Hematidrosis. It only occurs under states of unimaginable, extreme psvchological terror. The capillaries around the sweat qlands actually burst under the anxiety Jesus wasn't just nervous. He was feeling the crushing weight of the sins of the world and His impending physical torture. He felt the panic. He felt the dread Knowing the physical toll His anxiety took makes His sacrifice so much more real to me. He faced the ultimate panic attack so we wouldn't have to face our darknessalone. #Gethsemane #JesusSacrifice #MedicalBible #Hematidrosis
