Because the Bible does not delve terribly deep into the gore of Christ’s death and classical paintings of the crucifixion depict Him as merely having a crown of thorns and a pierced side, we don’t really understand how painful and gruesome the death of our Savior truly was. In this video, Dr. David Acuna talks about the death of Christ from a medical perspective. Dr. Acuna, a believer himself, talks about the medical implications of the crucifixion, the beatings, the crown of thorns, as well as Hematidrosis, or sweating blood. At the end, he also talks about what the crucifixion means to him.
