Finally, each person in your group should post a 1-paragraph summary to the blog about what stuck out to you from the “Guide to Jesus’ Crucifixion”. What did you learn that you didn’t already know before?
Brooke: There was a lot that stuck out to me, in this section. First of all, I didnt know that there was a seat on the cross. It was used to prolong the torture, and make it easier to breath. I always think of the cross at "t" shaped too not "T" shaped. I never realized that the wine Jesus had refused was going to be used to kill the pain. I couldnt imagine what he went through. I had always heard that the position on the cross made it hard to breath. I didnt know that they would break the persons legs to make it even harder, because in order to exhale they had to push up. Jesus died before they had to break his legs.
Ashley: I didn't know that getting beat with the whip caused shock. I didn't know there was a seat on the cross and tha the purpose for it was to prolong the torture of the victim. I didn't know that the wine they offered was laced with myrrh or frankincense to kill the pain. I didn't know that they broke the legs and it helped speed up the death process. When the heart is stabbed, shock makes the blood separate into cell clusters and amber-colored serum. The possible cause of death: a combination of shock, exhaustion, asphyxiation, and heart failure.
