The Crucifixion of Jesus ChristMany subjects have been discussed throughout the history of human beings. One time there might be a world war, another time a great recession, another day he would have been a very fast athlete, other times the Champions League final match and many more. still others. Yet, among all these events that have gripped the human mind for some time, no event is more talked about than the crucifixion of a man called Jesus Christ (Zugibe 33). His crucifixion has even been a lifelong study for many people. Institutions were built primarily for the purpose of studying this crucifixion. Some said this crucifixion changed their lives. Others countered that it eased their concerns. It is widely known and adopted. However, aside from all this, despite all the goodness that Jesus Christ is said to have, many wonder why he would be killed on a cross. At the time, the cross wasn't just any other way to kill someone. No. The cross was mainly used to kill escaped slaves. In Jesus' day, many people were slaves to their Roman masters. When these slaves tried to escape, they were crucified. For the Roman world, this was the most shameful death of all, as one would be hanged naked. As a result, no Roman citizen would ever be executed by hanging. Hanging was reserved for second-class citizens. The cross was also the most tortured way to kill bad people in society. It’s because as we were hooked on it; they would get tired of holding their breath and slowly die of suffocation. Their knees would be broken to ensure they could not support themselves. Eventually, suffocation killed them. The Romans borrowed the concept of crucifixion from the Egyptians. The Egyptian... middle of paper ... as a man out of this world. He had healed many. He had fed so many people. He had taught these people and they could feel God's eternal love for them. Just war theory would justify these people fighting and dying for this one person. However, Jesus stops any further justification by the fact that he healed Malchus' ear and told Pilate that his kingdom was not of this world. A world devoid of morality would not be habitable (Mattison 59). That would be so unfair. Injustice would prevail and wisdom would not prosper. This is the story of Jesus. This is the world he had to face while he was on this earth. It hated him. It hated him. From the moment he was born, it was planned to kill him. During his lifetime, people tried to stone him. It's truly amazing to hear him say, when it finally killed him, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."..”
