I remember last year just before memorial service time I watched a show
that talked about what physically happened to our precious Savior. The hours that
passed, and how the body was reacting to the shock. How that where they
put the nails, there is one place in the hand that will miss all bones, it
is in that flesh part between the thumb and forefinger. In that area there
are many nerves. They would put the nail there. It had an effect on the
arms and body that paralized them with pain.
Also from the time the whipped him, put His robe back on Him, then most
likely stripped it off of Him, the plasma and blood had dried from the
many wounds, and when they stripped it off it would have been like
jerking off His skin.
They said the cat of nine tails were more horrid than I imagined. They
would with all their might hit the person with the whip, the metal on the
ends of the whips would dig into the flesh, and just tear it off their
bodies. We do read in the OT where He said he could see His bones.
Where they took Him was the city dump where the dead animals also were
taken, and the stinch even today is still so bad they have to cover
their nose, when these people that go digging things up go there to go
through things. So He endure this foul smell also.
There is no pain He can not understand that we suffer. There is no stinch
we have to smell that He has not smelled as bad. He was unable to move His
body, so one that is paralized He understands what it is like. He could
not breath in the position He was in, and the way they hung Him they say
caused the lungs to fill with fluid. So of those with breathing problems
He knows their suffering. He has felt every human emotion, the intensity
of pain and suffereing, and having to be all alone, scoffed at, lies told
to, falsely jailed, put to death for a crime He didn't do and on and on.
Nothing we can go through He can not relate to as our High Priest.
I also understand where it says Why have you forsaken me, is not the correct translation. So many letters look the same in Hebrew, and when they were transliterated/translaates into Greek they mistook some letters, and it changed the meanings. They say, it is suppse to read. My El my El, for this was I spared.
