SUB TOPIC 1: THE CRUCIFIXION AND BURIAL OF JESUS
The soldiers took Jesus away and put a purple cloth on Him. They tortured Him by putting a crown of thorns on his head. They mocked Him by saluting Him: “Hail King of the Jews”. They beat Him and spat upon Him. After maltreating Him, they took away the purple cloth and led Him away to be crucified. On the way they met Simon of Cyrene who was forced to help Jesus carry the heavy cross. Simon helped Him, till they came to Golgotha, the place of crucifixion.
At Golgotha, the soldiers gave Jesus wine mixed with gall (a concoction) to drink. But when He tested it, He didn’t like it and so He refused to drink it. The concoction was meant to reduce the pain that He might suffer after He had been nailed to the cross.
The soldiers crucified Jesus by laying Him on the cross and hammering nails into his hands and feet. Jesus suffered as the nails pierced his flesh. They then shared his sleeveless garment among them by casting lot. Then on the top of the cross they put the charge for which Jesus was crucified: “This is Jesus the King of the Jews.”
Two robbers were crucified with Jesus, one on his right side and the other on his left. The crowd mocked Him to save Himself from the cross, if He was the Christ. The Chief Priests also mocked Jesus as He hung on the cross saying He saved others but could not save Himself. One of the two robbers also said bad things about Jesus.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF JESUS’ SUFFERING ON THE CROSS
The suffering of Jesus on the cross shows that suffering is part of human life. We shall all experience suffering in life and the experience of Jesus on the cross prepares us for the unpleasant side of life
