Podcasts about Crucifixion

In the gospels, Jesus' suffering is on a sliding scale - from sweating blood, to calmly accepting his fate. What did Jesus think about his own suffering, and is it even possible to answer that question from the evidence we have?

Prayer Moment 3 of 5 in JunePrayer for Understanding that Christ's Crucifixion was not Bad KarmaRight View of the Cross: Pray that the crucifixion is seen as Jesus' intentional sacrifice, not his punishment (Isaiah 53:5).Grace Over Karma: Pray for understanding that salvation is not earned through merit (Ephesians 2:8-9).Substitution: Pray that people understand Jesus took our place willingly (1 Peter 2:24).

Why would Jesus compare Himself to a bronze serpent? In John 3:14–15, Jesus connects His crucifixion to one of the most unusual events in the Old Testament—Moses lifting up the bronze serpent in the wilderness.In this episode of Shadows to Substance, George Sayour explores how Numbers 21 points directly to Christ, revealing a powerful picture of sin, judgment, faith, and salvation.Discover how the curse of Eden, the wilderness rebellion, and the cross all come together in one remarkable biblical pattern—and why Jesus said that just as Moses lifted up the serpent, so the Son of Man must be lifted up.Those who looked in faith lived then. Those who look to Christ in faith live now.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere


What would have happened to the world if Jesus had decided not to go through with the Crucifixion? After all, the people who mocked Jesus as He hung on the cross had a point! At any time, Jesus could have said, “Actually, never mind!” and disappeared without fulfilling the task He had been sent to accomplish. Pastor Gary teaches you today that Jesus paid a high price for your salvation, and you owe a great debt that cannot be paid back. What Jesus asks for in return is your obedience and your faith.

Fr. Mike finishes the gospel of Mark by reflecting on the death and resurrection of Christ. He also encourages us to reflect on the redemption of our own sins every time we see a crucifix and to return that same sacrificial love to God every day.

God's high and hidden hand is compared to big brother secret societies at work in the world.Jesus is ghosted by Peter just before the Crucifixion.PASSAGE OF THE DAY 106Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become the sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.John 12: 36 - 36

Tune in this week for a quick eructation as Jeff and Dave review the disturbing story of Lucius Pedanius Secundus, Roman aristocrat, who in A.D. 61 was murdered by one of his household slaves. The aftermath of this violent act was notoriously brutal: Tacitus tells us all 400 other slaves in Pedanius' house, whether implicated in the crime or ignorant of it, including women and infants, were scheduled for crucifixion. Tacitus also records that a mob of Roman citizens rioted and stormed the senate building, seeking to prevent the enforcement of the ancient law. Drawing from Annales XIV.42-45, the hosts look at arguments for and against the justice of such an act, the constraints of mos maiorum, and the final outcome of the whole nasty affair, because of Nero's intervention. Grim, yes, but history, as Edward Gibbon says, "...is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind."

Key Bible Verse: "But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

(4) James Tabor challenges the tradition that John the fisherman was the "beloved disciple" at the crucifixion, arguing instead that it was James, Jesus' blood brother. He positions James as the legitimate successor and leader of the "Nazarene movement" in Jerusalem, citing the Gospel of Thomas and James' authoritative role at the Council of Jerusalem in 50 CE. By emphasizing the role of biological brothers like James, Jude, and Simon, Tabor highlights the central importance of the Jesus family in maintaining the movement's leadership and integrity until James' martyrdom in 62 CE.

It is gardening time. It was a beautiful spring day when 6 year old grandson Trevor and his old grandma decided to plant the garden and then plant flowers in the flower pots. Trevor patiently helped plant the potatoes, better boy tomatoes, carrots, and broccoli. After the completion of the gardening project, we watered the garden. I suggested to Trevor that if it did not rain, he could pray for rain for the planted garden. His reply was immediate and very emphatic. “Grandma, I will leave that job up to you.” And believe me, this grandma is thankful for answered prayer as rain from heaven watered at the planted garden.Today is National Day of Prayer. The emphasis this year is to pray for our leaders. People everywhere have become more aware of the power of intercessory prayer. The National Day of Prayer has been an American tradition since the Continental Congress 1st declared its need for godly wisdom in 1775. In 1988, the law set the day as the 1st Thursday in May. Thanks, dear readers, for the Easter messages and letters. Your words of encouragement bless my day. Encourage your family and friends in their prayer ministry. A dear friend wrote me with her Easter message that she has now become involved in a prayer ministry in her church. And a prayer warrior she has become because someone has given her a word of encouragement. Her prayerful thoughts were published in decision magazine on page 40….“The Quiet Heart.” Struggling with feelings of aggravation, irritation, frustration, indignation, resignation. I went outside to pray. A yellow crocus seemed to say, with shouts of proclamation. Crucifixion, resurrection, redemption, jubilation, He's alive, and I'm forgiven. Written by Maxine Kelly from Lincoln, Nebraska.Warm thoughts: If you pray for another, you will be helped yourself. Yiddish proverb. For more of our nation's life is shaped by prayer than is formed by legislation. The single most important action contributing to whatever health and strength there is in our land. Is prayer. May the month of May bring you many warm and prayerful thoughts!Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea Written by Dr. Luetta G Werner.

Greg considers opening up a confessional booth for demons.  Episode 1336 Greg's new book: Inspired Imperfection Dan's new book: Confident Humility Send Questions To: Dan: @thatdankentTwitter: @reKnewOrg Facebook: ReKnew Email: askgregboyd@gmail.com Links: Greg's book:"Crucifixion of the Warrior God" Website: ReKnew.org  

Scripture tells us that Jesus ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. And so, the ancient church, the early church Fathers, and the historic creeds affirm that the bodily ascension of Christ is a vital part of God's Big Story. Without it, the saving work of the Lord Jesus would be significantly incomplete. And yet more recently, the church, especially the Western church, has either neglected Christ's ascension, or underestimated and misunderstood its significance. In this sermon, Pastor Chris makes the case for sayingthat all four parts of the work of Christ-- Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension-- are critical and can't be separated or removed from the other. The artwork that Pastor Chris referred to is "The Ascension" by British painter Ford Madox Brown. The full image is here. The lower portion is here. The middle, here. And the top portion is here.

À l'été 2025, une fois n'est pas coutume, l'histoire médiévale a fait les gros titres de la presse mondiale, avec la découverte d'une source concernant le suaire de Turin. Il faut dire que ce n'est pas un objet comme les autres : depuis des siècles, ce suaire de Turin est vénéré comme le linge même qui aurait vraiment enveloppé le corps du Christ après la Crucifixion. Des millions de fidèles ont ainsi afflué à Turin lors d'ostensions publiques, et ce alors même que le Suaire a été daté du Moyen Âge par le Carbone 14 et que l'Église a accepté cette datation. Si l'on se promène un peu sur internet, on est assez vite pris de vertige face à la controverse qui l'entoure, on peut vraiment lire tout et son contraire ! Le document mis en lumière en 2025, car parmi les milliers de reliques vénérées au Moyen Âge, il juge comme le cas de fraude le plus évident précisément celle que l'on vénère encore six siècles et demi plus tard : le suaire de Turin !Bonne écoute !⚔️ Ne loupez pas mon livre collectif Les Chevaliers dispo en précommande jusqu'au 15 mai seulement : https://fr.ulule.com/chevaliers-notabene➤ Pour en savoir plus, découvrez notre entretien avec Nicolas Sarzeaud : https://youtu.be/3NEBzIJ5mCg

Jesus Followers Know the Cornerstone of Christianity Is: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus is The Door and The Gate by which you must enter the Kingdom of God. In John 14:6-7, Jesus answers a question by the Apostle Thomas with the fundamental tenant of Christianity when He tells us all: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.'". Also, in John 10:9-10, Jesus tells us: “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief {Satan} comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." Also, Jesus said, in Matthew 7:13-14, that He was "the Narrow Gate", and whomever enters the Kingdom through Him will be saved and have Eternal Life: {You} “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.". Jesus' Crucifixion and Resurrection are the events, of about two thousand years ago, that provided us all, by God's Grace, with access to The Narrow Gate, which is Jesus. Through Jesus' death on the cross for your sins and His Resurrection, He has given you eternal life, if you choose to enter The Narrow Gate. You may ask: “How do I enter this ‘Narrow Gate' of Jesus?”. By God's Grace you can enter Eternal Life, through Jesus, by your true belief and faith in Jesus as God along with your prayerful confession of your sins to God. With your belief, faith, and confession, you have entered through the narrow and only door to your Salvation. However and after your entry through the door, you must continue, in your faith and obedience, to follow Jesus – this is the only, and it is The Way provided by God's Grace through Jesus.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, help me to grab hold of you today. I need you. Set me free to begin reorienting my life around you, and you alone. Help me to pay attention to and honor how you have uniquely made me. Thank you for the gift of rest. In Jesus' name, amen.       Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 122). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will trust in the Lord with all my heart. I will trust in the Lord with all of my heart and lean not on my own understanding.  In all my ways I will seek to know Him, and He will make my pathways straight.   From Proverbs 3:5f SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 7:21-23; Matthew 7:13-14; John 14:5-7; Psalms150:1-6; John 10:9-10.

Welcome to Session Three of our spring Bible study! We're studying Body and Soul, and we're so excited to join Lisa Whittle to get real about Scripture and get real about living out our faith in the bodies we have.Each week, we'll release the next teaching session, and we'll leave all six sessions up through June 8.What does Jesus's death on the cross have to do with our body struggles? Lisa answers that question in this teaching session. Through Jesus's crucifixion, we learn reliance on Him for our salvation but also for our everyday struggles with our bodies. We live in the reality of "it is finished" and "in the process" at the same time. By pointing our eyes to the cross, we are able to hold the tension of both, allowing us to put our very real body issues in the right place in our theology.LINKBody and Soul Bible StudyRECOMMENDED: In case you missed it, listen to Session One of Body and Soul on Marked.Marked is a podcast from Lifeway Women: https://women.lifeway.com/blog/podcasts/.Hosted by Angie Elkins and Andrea Lennon.Learn more about the Very Good Bible study. 

Here is the Sunday School lesson I taught this Sunday. Jehovah's Witnesses argue that Jesus died on an upright stake with no crossbeam. His hands were nailed together above his head. This is because the Greek words stauros and xulon only mean one piece of timber.They're actually right about what those words literally mean. Does that mean Jesus didn't die on a cross? Let's look at some evidence from the Bible and historical works before Constantine that strongly suggest a cross beam.Sources Cited:"Did Jesus Die on a Cross?"

It's Good Friday, and we're going deep into the cross, the empty tomb, and the connections hiding in plain sight all over scripture. Messianic Rabbi Jason Sobel, author of "Transformed by the Messiah," sits down to reveal how God encoded the story of redemption from the very first word of Genesis. Rabbi Jason unpacks why Jesus died on the sixth day, the same day man was created and fell, why the veil in the temple was a barrier guarded by cherubim just like the entrance to Eden, and why it tore from top to bottom. He traces the Passover lamb from Abraham's near sacrifice of Isaac to the third cup at the Last Seder, and reveals that when Jesus offered Himself on the cross, He had every person who would ever believe in Him in His mind, because no one could eat of the Passover lamb unless the one offering it was thinking of them. Rabbi Jason also shares his extraordinary testimony of encountering Jesus during meditation as a young Jewish man in New Jersey who thought "Christ" was a last name. From the Hebrew letter Vav, shaped like a nail reconnecting heaven and earth on the sixth day, to the number eight representing the supernatural breakthrough of the resurrection, to the tomb and the womb being the same Hebrew word because both are portals, this conversation will transform the way you read the Easter story. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Christ's death is the unique and definitive sacrifice. It is both the Paschal Sacrifice that accomplishes redemption and the sacrifice of the New Covenant that restores man's communion with God. Fr. Mike tell us that Jesus Christ is the one mediator, and yet invites us to participate in his sacrifice when he calls on us to take up our crosses and follow him. When we accept our sufferings out of love, we are united to Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 613-623.

Today, we sit down with Dr. Sean McDowell, professor, apologist, and author, to discuss all things Holy Week. We talk about the proof of the existence of Jesus but also refute the claim that Jesus wasn't crucified. We also talk about whether or not Christians should be celebrating Passover and other Jewish holidays as well as the ongoing debate over whether Easter is actually pagan in nature. Dr. McDowell also answers some apologetics questions for us and gives some advice on how to look for our own spiritual blind spots in our walks with God.

In this reading, we learn that all sinners are the authors of Christ's Passion. We do not blame the Jews for the Crucifixion of Jesus as we know that it is our own sins that caused his Passion and death. Fr. Mike tells us that the Jews are not collectively responsible for Jesus' death, and they should not be spoken of as rejected or cursed. We're reminded that when we choose sin and deny Christ by our deeds, we crucify him anew in our hearts. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 595-598. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
