VIDEO: Beautiful Performance Sung by The Inspirations to Praise the Lord

“The Son came down” represents a moving song about light, the truth and the meaning of life, all given by our Savior. His greatness became even clearer when He was betrayed and hurt, but He kept the hope about people, about love, about a better world. He continued to love us and to protect us from the evil in every moment of our lives. Thank you, Lord, for loving us!

Here’s some information on the crucifixion of Jesus, provided by Wikipedia.

The crucifixion of Jesus occurred in 1st century Judea, most probably between the years 30 and 33 AD. Jesus’ crucifixion is described in the four canonical gospels, referred to in the New Testament epistles, attested to by other ancient sources, and is established as a historical event confirmed by non-Christian sources.

According to the canonical gospels, Jesus, the Christ, was arrested, tried, and sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be scourged, and finally crucified by the Romans. Jesus was stripped of his clothing and offered wine mixed with gall to drink, before being crucified. He was then hung between two convicted thieves and according to Mark’s Gospel, died some six hours later. During this time, the soldiers affixed a sign to the top of the cross stating “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews” in three languages. They then divided his garments among them, but cast lots for his seamless robe. After Jesus’ death they pierced his side with a spear to be certain that he had died.

Collectively referred to as the Passion, Jesus’ suffering and redemptive death by crucifixion are the central aspects of Christian theology concerning the doctrines of salvation.

The three Synoptic Gospels refer to a man called Simon of Cyrene who is made to carry the cross, while in the Gospel of John, Jesus is said to “bear” his own cross.

Luke’s gospel also describes an interaction between Jesus and the women among the crowd of mourners following him, quoting Jesus as saying “Daughters 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, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

The Gospel of Luke has Jesus address these women as “daughters of Jerusalem”, thus distinguishing them from the women whom the same gospel describes as “the women who had followed him from Galilee” and who were present at his crucifixion.

Traditionally, the path that Jesus took is called Via Dolorosa (Latin for “Way of Suffering”) and is a street in the Old City of Jerusalem. It is marked by nine of the fourteen Stations of the Cross. It passes the Ecce Homo Church and the last five stations are inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
