Jesus Died of a Broken Heart

Jesus did not die of suffocation like others who were crucified in Roman times. Dr. David Ball simulated the crucification of Jesus and has concluded that Jesus died of a ruptured heart.

• Jesus couldn’t have shouted at his death if he were suffocated, but could have shouted if he had a ruptured heart.
• Jesus suffered further damage for four to six hours after he fell as he carried the cross.
• A Roman soldier speared Jesus’s heart and John described how blood and water poured out.

To those who celebrate Easter, have a peaceful Good Friday.
