1 John 3:17 "But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?"

At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death penalty.
That was then the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals could die like Jesus. And with Jesus things were worse, because not all the criminals condemned to death could receive nails on their hands and feet.
Of course, nails… Big nails! Each was 15 a 20 cm long, with a point of 6 cm.
The nails were craved into the pulses, and not into the palms, as we are used to hear. In the pulse, there's a tendon which extends to the shoulder, and when the nails were being hammered, that tendon broke, obliging Jesus to reinforce all the muscles of his back, so that he could breath as He was losing all the air from his lungs.
In this way, He was forced to support Himself onto the nail craved in his feet, which was bigger than those craved into his pulses, for both feet were craved together. And, as his feet could not endure for long time without tearing, Jesus was forced to alternate that "cycle" so that He could breath.
Jesus endured that reality for over 3 hours.
Yes, over 3 hours! Long time, isn't it? A Few minutes before He died, Jesus was not bleeding anymore.
He was simply pouring water from his cuts and holes.
When we imagine Him injured, we only picture Him with injuries, but it is not enough; His wounds were true holes, made in his body.
He had no more blood to bleed, He only poured water. Human body is composed of nearly 3.5 liters of blood (for adult).
Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who nailed a spear into his chest.
All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed 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, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).
Jesus had to pass all this experience, so that you can have free access to God so that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation. HE DIED FOR YOU! Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to the church or for pastors, bishops, etc).
Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.
