Crucifixion of Jesus Christ

In this report we will deal with Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. This report we'll have as bible text the gospel of Matthew 27:32-50, and these verses will be analyzed verse by verse. It's very great to observe that all gospels talk about Jesus' Crucifixion in a larger section than others events from his life. There is a great reason: for Jesus this last part of his work means the finishing God's plan of salvation. Paul says he humbled himself, and become obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross (Philippians 2:8). So we will observe the following of event as Matthew wrote in his gospel.

27:32-34: 32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cy-re'na, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross, 33 They were come unto a place called Gol'-go-tha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

These verses are about the passions of Christ before his crucifixion. History says that traditional station of the Cross begins in Via Dolorosa, which is one of the principal east-west streets of Jerusalem. Today on this street we can find the chapel of Flagellation and Covent of the sister of Zion. Our Lord, Jesus, has borne his cross a part of the route and they came out of Jerusalem. The soldiers compelled a man Simon, by name, from Cyrena a town from North Africa, to bear the cross of Jesus. Some theologists believe that Simon was a Jewish man anthers believe that he was a black man. But the most important is that he had the great privilege to bear the Jesus' cross.

...three hours. I think that these three hours were he highest point of his passions, because in that moment Jesus feels very well the abandonment of God the Father. After darkness, at ninth hour Matthew relates the last wards of Christ before of his death. The last word of Christ shows how much he has suffered for our sins. Matthew writes only that Jesus cried loud one more time and after that he died, but John writes that before Jesus gave up the ghost, he said "It is finished". Jesus said that his sufferings were finished, that fulfill all the plan of man's salvation made by God the Father, from beginning.

Jesus is God's solution for our salvation. In Genesis God spoke for the first time about Messiah, who will rebuild the relation between God and man. Messiah came and died, carries out the God's plan of salvation. Jesus suffered for our sins and died in our place.
