In Rome crucified people did not bleed to death. They would hang on their cross for several days even, and eventually give out, and suffocate from no longer being able to breath. That is why the two thieves had their legs broken. It was done to speed up the process as to no longer be able to push up to breath.
Jesus was the perfect human specimen. Pilate was surprised to hear Jesus was already dead. For men normaly did not die so quickly.
That is why Jesus' side was pierced to prove he had died.
Out of his side poured blood clots are serum. Medically to have the blood to break down that way meant there was enough blood in his body as to not die from blood loss. When the blood gets too low and causes death? It not longer separates as Jesus had.
Another thing that we have glossed over.
Unless its pointed out? We can easily miss it. Jesus declared that our salvation was completed *before* he died physically.
Note the following!
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said,
“I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on
hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!”
And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit." John 19:28-30
He was still physically alive when he declared salvation on the Cross was completed! Why was that? He did not say, "Its about to be finished," before he died. These questions need to be asked if we are to understand the truth.
The key to understanding of the Blood of Christ has been lost to many when it comes to this truth. The truth gets suppressed because human emotionalism quite often takes over, and the irrationality of religion keeps holding its hands over our eyes not wanting us to see what our salvation entailed on the Cross.
The term "blood of Christ" holds a much greater significance than the gross pagan world's view of human sacrifice...
We are lied to all the time.
grace and peace ..........
