The death of Jesus Christ

This post is nothing but merely a piece of my pathological point of view on Jesus death.. so don't think over the fence yeah!

Have you ever wonder how our Saviour, Jesus, the Son of God die?

He was crucified . I guess most of us know this.. but hey... no ... no.. that's not the main COD (cause of death)

Jesus was died of hypovolumnic shock! He died because of excessive heamorrhage , which led to the deadly low cardiac output .

How cruel man can really be.. Jesus was nailed at the cross ,incised and punctured with the sharp nails, which might be infected by various bacterial or viruses. Of course it is painful .. extreme pain as the nail pressed the nerve ending of the pain receptors for a long long time.

No bone fracture as none a bone was broken.

He might as well had gone through extreme shoot up of glucocorticoid as well as cortisol as as a result of the environmental stress, as well as the body internal stress(thirst, hunger etc) .
Hence these stress summation would added up the agony that He had went thru for us.

Before his crucifixion, He had been through tremendous stress.

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. ~Luke 22:44

Hematohidrosis

Hence , it is obvious that he had been sweating profusely and the stress was so great that it ruptured the tiny blood vessels aka capillaries of His skin.

Profuse perspiration could lead to dehydration if no water is immediately given to the patient. Therefore, Jesus would have been totally dehydrated , as he refused to drink , and so his blood pressure dropped to a critical level which might lead him to hypovolumnic shock anytime i.e. severe drop in cardiac output due to loss of volume of blood which will eventually lead to death.

Then he was beaten vigorously by the Roman soldier. Lacerations were all over his body as the whip cut his flesh. If the skin didn't rupture, contussion was formed under the skin. Internal and external heamorrhage occured as the blood vessel were ruptured.

A crown of thorn was forced into His scalp and causes excrutiating pain as these thorns pierced through His head and pressing on His nerve ending .

All these torture would lead to the inflammation of the wound . Edema fluid would build up under the skin of the wounds. Hence heat, red, swollen and painful blister, bruises were all over His body.

Then he was hung on the beam . His median nerve was pierced through. Do you know how painful it was? Even morphine could not help to relief or reduce the pain. The pain would have just travel all the way to His spinal cord.

He was nailed. Tetanus might would have just set in.

Do you know that stress can be summed up? Jesus had been through dizziness, cramp, thirst, starvation, sleeplessness, traumatic fever, tetanus, publicity of shame, long continuance of torment, horror of anticipation, mortification of untended wounds where bacteria and viral would have easily infected etc. So much of stress! If we were put into His shoe, we would have fainted !

It was a symphony of pain. Every move he made, every breath his took, every breeze blown to his body, would bring screaming pain to his body and mind.

Various shock were set in.Hypovolumnic shock due to loss of blood and fluid, plus traumatic shock from his injuries, plus cardiogenic shock causing Jesus's heart to fail. His heart was torn and ruptured as evident by the post mortem changes-- But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water . John 19:34


The current jelly like blood clot is defenitely a prove of death . Fluid builds up could be the edematous fluid that build up due to the shock (highly concentrated blood, high osmolarity, water then to retained there).

Hence , the COD of Jesus Christ, was traumatic shock that lead to cardiac failure.

Remembering His love to us.
