The details of the crucifixion of Jesus are horrible and gruesome beyond words. It is probably for this reason that none of the Gospels dwell on the physical agony. It is important to understand that it is the central event of God's Holy Word. We spend far more time celebrating the incarnation of Jesus which was only a means to an end. Jesus Christ came into this world to save sinners (I Timothy 1:15). I Corinthians 15:3 states that He died for our sins. The greatest amount of material in each Gospel centers on the crucifixion of Jesus, in terms of prophecy, preparation and the actual event. When Jesus cried out, It is finished, victory over sin was won and the provision for our salvation was secured. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
