Calvary Chapel Of Crook County - Main

Crucifixion was one of the most brutal, humiliating punishments of the Roman world, first used by the Persians, and designed to make the victim die slowly and publicly. Jesus took our place on the cross, illustrated by taking the place of Barabbas, a criminal. The Psalm of the cross – Psalm 22 – prophesied all of this a thousand years before, even before crucifixion had been invented.
