historical accounts of crucifixions describe upright portions of a cross that remained in their place, while the horizontal cross-bar was added or removed as guilty persons were hung or had died. This moving illustration signifies that Jesus was removed from that cross, not left there dying...His crown of thorns rests on the ground, as He no longer needed it once He had risen again. What a glorious thought, that our Lord and Savior lives that we may spend eternity with him. What a precious sacrifice.
