Jesus was crucified on the day before the Sabbath, Friday, at 9 a.m.

Jesus was crucified at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, the day before the Sabbath.
About six hours later, Jesus breathed his last on the cross.
...According to records...🧐
It sometimes took several days to a week for those executed on the cross to die...😨
...Therefore,
Jesus' death was far too quick...😥
...It was such an abrupt death.
Pilate was so surprised that he exclaimed, "Has Jesus already died?"...😰
...The death of Jesus on the cross✝️ and the deaths of the two robbers
have completely different meanings❗️.
…Because the innocent one… burdened all of humanity's sins… upon just one Jesus…
He received God's judgment ⚡️… alone… 😥
He died in just a few hours… 😢
…It is written that to confirm Jesus' death, one of the soldiers pierced his heart with a spear.
…At that moment…blood and water flowed from his heart…
That is…evidence of his heart rupturing 💥❗️.
…It is said that the heart ruptures 💥 when ultimate fear strikes…
…Jesus…gave up his own life ✝️ so that you could live.
…Let us be grateful for the life we ​​have been given❗️.

Shalom 😃
