The Foot of the Cross: Who was at the crucifixion of Jesus

The Foot of the Cross

It was the most remarkable day in mankind's history! God, who became flesh and dwelt among man, now hung on the Roman government's most cruel form of capital punishment, a cross. Though His accusers could find nothing for which He was guilty still they had agreed; He must die. Though Pilate, the Roman governor whose duty it was to maintain peace in Israel had found no fault in Him, he only washed his hands of the affair and let the Sanhedrin have their way. And multitudes of people were on hand in Jerusalem to observe this destiny changing affair. What was their reaction? And, more importantly, what might we learn from them?

INSIDE THE CITY

Imagine the thousands of people in Jerusalem the day Christ died. What were they doing and thinking?

THEY PARTED HIS GARMENTS

The soldier's business was crucifixion. Could anyone be so cold?

TWO OTHER WITH HIM

There was the dubious distinction of dying alongside Him. Could there be hope for them?

THE PEOPLE THERE

Executions were public events. This one was no exception.

THE CENTURION'S WITNESS

An honest officer makes his observation. Truly this was the Son of God.

THE RELIGIOUS

Is religion a help or hindrance in matters concerning Christ?
