This is one of the two pivotal days of Holy Week, with the other being Easter Sunday. Christians believe that this was an act of sacrifice of a perfect and sinless person who died in the place of imperfect people to pay for their sins, securing eternal salvation for them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_20671166\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1239996904.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20671166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1239996904.jpg\" alt=\"Christian worshippers carrying a wooden cross walk toward the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, during the Good Friday procession in Jerusalem&#039;s Old City, on April 15, 2022.

(Hazem Bader\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In an increasingly secular society, many people are not familiar with the historical accounts of the death of Jesus. The Bible contains four of them. From the Gospel according to Luke:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them, \u201cYou brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him. Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him. I will therefore punish and release him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But they all cried out together, \u201cAway with this man, and release to us Barabbas\u201d\u2014a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder. Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus, but they kept shouting, \u201cCrucify, crucify him!\u201d\u00a0 A third time he said to them, \u201cWhy? What evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him.\u201d But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed. So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted. He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus over to their will.<\/p>\n<p>And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. But turning to them Jesus said, \u201cDaughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, \u2018Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!\u2019 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, \u2018Fall on us,\u2019 and to the hills, \u2018Cover us.\u2019 For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. And Jesus said, \u201cFather, forgive them, for they know not what they do.\u201d And they cast lots to divide his garments. And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, \u201cHe saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!\u201d The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine and saying, \u201cIf you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!\u201d There was also an inscription over him, \u201cThis is the King of the Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, \u201cAre you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!\u201d But the other rebuked him, saying, \u201cDo you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.\u201d\u00a0 And he said, \u201cJesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.\u201d And he said to him, \u201cTruly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, while the sun\u2019s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, \u201cFather, into your hands I commit my spirit!\u201d And having said this he breathed his last. Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, \u201cCertainly this man was innocent!\u201d And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance watching these things.<\/p>\n<p>Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid. It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. Then they returned and prepared spices and ointments.<\/p>\n<p>On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Luke 23:13\u201356 (ESV)<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Come behold the wondrous mystery, Christ the Lord upon the tree; <\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>In the stead of ruined sinners, Hangs the Lamb in victory. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>See the price of our redemption, see the Father\u2019s plan unfold; <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Bringing many sons to glory, grace unmeasured, love untold.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Matt Boswell, <em>Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ken Klukowski is a Breitbart News contributor.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHave this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":386,"featured_media":1898277,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1440886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1440886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/386"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1440886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1440886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1898277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1440886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1440886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1440886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
