We conclude our series on the Crucifixion of the King of Glory by turning our attention to the burial process described in the gospels, many details of which have been disputed in modern times. The discovery of the empty tomb and the Resurrection itself have been challenged on the basis that, as a condemned criminal, Jesus would not have been buried at all. Is there any truth to these claims? What about the details such as the huge quantity of myrrh and aloes brought by Nicodemus? What was the purpose of that and why did the women plan to return after the Sabbath to anoint the body?

The "last words" of Christ on the cross have been the subject of much interest over the millennia. In spite of his extreme pain, the Lord spoke seven times from the cross and each statement is instructive for us. Each evangelist recorded the statements that he considered most important to his presentation of Christ, his identity, example, and purpose.

King of Glory: Crucifixion Part 2. No punishment is more associated with the Roman Empire than crucifixion. Almost no one was immune from the possibility of suffering this fate and everyone feared it. Crucifixion was specifically designed to maximize pain. But also fundamental to the procedure and this punishment was the humiliation of the cross, the shame and loss of status in a culture which esteemed personal glory, honor and reputation above all.

Mockings were routine in Roman culture, but in Christ's case, the crown of thorns contributed significant physical agony. Scourgings also routinely preceded crucifixions. What was a scourging, and if Pilate believed Jesus to be innocent, why was Jesus scourged at all? The Jewish leaders insisted on crucifying Jesus and blackmailed Pilate to achieve their goal.

Pontius Pilate has become a controversial figure recently. Many critics of the New Testament claim that the portrayal of Pilate in the gospels is not accurate. What do we really know about Pilate? What became of him? Could it be true that he was reluctant to crucify Jesus? If so, why?

The Jewish trial of Christ in the gospels reveals the determination of the Jewish leaders to convict Jesus. Requirements of Jewish trial procedures were violated, and the outcome was predetermined. But claiming to be the Messiah was not a crime, nor was predicting the destruction of the Temple. A conviction warranting the death penalty would not have been possible without Jesus' last statement. After being silent during most of the trial, why did Jesus finally speak and what was so shocking about his statement that the High Priest tore his robes and pronounced Christ guilty of blasphemy?
