The Case of a Crucified King Pt. 2
Ben Lee

The execution—was it murder, sacrifice, or something more?

In Part 2 of The Case of a Crucified King, we explore the depths of what Jesus endured in His final hours. From the agony of the Garden of Gethsemane to the brutality of His flogging, the weight of the cross, and the pain of crucifixion, we walk through each moment of His suffering.

We reflect on the humanity of His experience, including His powerful words from the cross—entrusting His mother to John, and expressing both anguish and surrender. Along the way, we look at Isaiah 53 and the prophetic image of the Suffering Servant, as well as insights from Lee Strobel’s The Case for Christ and the Star of Bethlehem documentary.

Finally, we unpack the extraordinary signs following Jesus’ death—earthquakes, torn veils, opened tombs, and the resurrection that changed everything.

Join us as we ask the ultimate question: Was this simply an execution… or the greatest act of love the world has ever known?
