Jesus Crucified

The way someone dies does not usually prove who they are. But in Jesus’ case, His crucifixion fulfills the very scriptures that foretold the Messiah’s suffering, death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus’ crucifixion is not a story of defeat. It is the ultimate proof that He is the Messiah, the Son of God, the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.
