CRUX

 

 

 

Scriptural references starting from the background and working forward (NIV):

Matt. 27:45 - From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.

Psa. 89:37 - it (David's line) will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.

Matt. 16:2 - He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,'

Matt. 16:3 and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' . . .

You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

Mark 15:22 - They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull).

Mark 15:17b - . . . then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him.

Luke 23:39 - One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

Luke 16:26 - between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, . . .

so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

Luke 23:40 - But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence?

Luke 23:41 - We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."

Luke 23:42 - Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

Luke 23:43 - Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

Matt. 27:54a - When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake. . .

John 19:30 - When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Mark 15:38 - The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

Mark 15:26 - The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

 

Synopsis Of The Piece:

I have always wanted to do my version of the crucifixion.

The versions I have always seen look very serene and peaceful.

But if we read the biblical descriptions, it was nothing but that.

So my goal was to show the devistation recorded, yet without being too descriptive.
