✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Life of Yeshua (Jesus) – Episode 63 “The Way of Sorrows” (From Sentencing to the Place of the Skull) The verdict had been spoken. Pilate, having declared Yeshua innocent, nevertheless surrendered Him to the will of the crowd. With that decision, Roman justice concluded its deliberation and began its procedure. Yeshua was sentenced to die. As custom required, the crossbeam was placed upon His shoulders. Condemned men were made to carry the instrument of their execution through public streets—a warning meant to instill fear and enforce obedience. But Yeshua was not a typical prisoner. He had already endured severe scourging. Blood loss, shock, and exhaustion weighed heavily on His body. As the procession moved forward, His strength faltered. He stumbled beneath the burden. Roman soldiers, concerned only with efficiency, compelled a bystander—Simon of Cyrene—to carry the crossbeam. The Son of God allowed help. Not because He lacked authority, but because He had fully embraced the limits of human flesh. Women along the road wept openly. Yeshua turned to them—not to receive comfort, but to speak truth. He warned them not to weep for Him, but for themselves and for the days coming upon Jerusalem. Even while condemned, even while suffering, His concern remained fixed on others and on what was yet to unfold. This was no helpless victim being dragged toward death. This was a King walking a path He had already chosen. ⸻ The Destination The procession led deliberately to Golgotha—a Roman execution site located just outside the city walls. Scripture names it Golgotha, meaning “Place of the Skull.” The Latin term Calvary carries the same meaning. Whether the name referred to the appearance of the site or its long association with death, the implication was unmistakable. This was a place of finality. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Bible #God #Jesus #BibleStudy #Help #Love #Calvary #ViadelaRosa #Salvation #Prayer #Gospel
