The Jerusalem Cross is one of the most recognized symbols worldwide, and when it is made of olive wood, its value gets further enhanced in terms of beauty
The DAILY LIFE IN THE TIME OF JESUS invites you to take unique and intimate journey into the life of Jesus
Walk through the fields of Nazareth as he did
Hear the prayer and songs sung in his youth
Travel with him to Jerusalem and the Temple
Stand beside him from his birth through to his crucifixion and resurrection
Presented as a personal witness, filmed entirely on location in the Holy Land - Israel covering every major events and all the sites
That night Jesus was tried for blasphemy.
In the morning he was passed to the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate.
Charged and found guilty of insurrection,
Jesus was sentenced to be crucified ....
the cruelest of Roman punishments.
The Romans brought in the crucifixion, the torture that had been around for hundreds of years and made it a common practice. One of our historians tells us that at one point there were thousands of Jews hanging on crucifixion stakes from Jerusalem all the way to Tiberius, lining the road.
Once sentence was pronounced,
Jesus was handed to the Roman guards
who took him away and whipped him.
After the flogging of Jesus he was then wrapped in a robe, a crown of thorns taken and placed upon his brow, pushing down, literally tearing the flesh from the scalp and then presenting him to the crowd in mockery, saying, this is your king. He was then led down the Via Dolorosa, with a sign around his neck, just as the lambs for Passover had the family name signed on them, brought up for the sacrifice, he's led just as those lambs.
Arriving at Golgotha -- the place of the skull --
the crucifixion itself began.
Jesus was nailed to the cross -- the Lamb of God,
whose blood would be shed for the sins of the world.
Up to this time, sins had been forgiven once a year on Yom Kippur,
the most solemn day of our year, the Day of Atonement.
What is the meaning of atonement, what is the meaning to atone? In Hebrew it's 'lechaper', to cover, and the meaning is that God is covering over our sins.
On that day -- and on that day alone - the High Priest enters the Holy of Holies,
Standing in front of the Ark of the Covenant - before the Lord of Hosts --
he asks for forgiveness for the entire nation of Israel.
... and when the sixth hour had come,
there was darkness over the whole land ......
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice .....
and breathed His last.
Then, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
(Mark 15:33-38)
