This is a very critical topic in Christianity. Jesus died to save our lives. Isn't that cool?! Anyway, Jesus' feet, left and right hand were nailed to the cross. Either hand doesn't have a special meaning, just He was nailed there to die and save our sins. God's amazing. I love Him so much!
there is no real significance to the right hand being nailed to the cross, as both his hands were nailed. the meaning of him being on the cross is his sacrifice. his hands endured pain.
My professional opinion is that it means that Jesus is on the right hand of God.
3, Three rusty nails, nailed Jesus to the cross. One in each hand and one in the feet, according to Christian tradition and records.
The crown of thorns was put on Jesus before he carried the cross. This happened in the courtyard of Pilate's palace - the soldiers put a purple cloak on his shoulders, a reed in his hand as a scepter, and a crown of thorns on his head.
We are told that Jesus was slapped, so a hand was one instrument. We are also told that a crown of thorns was pressed down on His head, so this was another instrument. And then we are told that Jesus was beaten with a Roman whip, so this again was another instrument. And the last was the nails that Nailed Jesus to the cross, an instrument of torture and death in itself.
In Koine Greek, which the New Testament was written in, the wrist was included when speaking of the hand. Many experts that have studied this subject believe that nails were driven through Jesus' wrists as opposed to his palms.
There is no disciple sitting on Jesus left hand side or on the right hand side.
None of the New Testament gospels mentions James standing at the cross with Jesus. In fact, the synoptic gospels quite clearly say that none of the disciples was there. On the other hand, John's Gospel says that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was at the foot of the cross, but does not identify this disciple. If John's Gospel is right, this could have been James, although Christian tradition says that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was the disciple John.
yesRoman Catholic AnswerDespite the crucifixes everyone sees, modern research indicates that Our Blessed Lord was most probably nailed through His wrists, as His Hands would have torn and would have been unable to bear the weight of His Body. There was probably a single nail through both feet to keep them from failing. He would have had to raise His Body on those three nails for every breath as the weight of your body when hanging like that makes you unable to breath in. The torture is excruciating as you can not even pass out from the pain, you wake up in order to raise yourself to breath the next time. The pain in your wrists and feet from the nails is beyond belief and even worse when you have to raise your weight to breath. Death finally comes from asphyxiation. Which is why they broke the legs of the two men who were still alive: with their legs broken, they couldn't raise themselves to breath in, so they suffocated.
The cross is always significant, as it is a reminder of how much God loves you! He gave His son Jesus, to die on that cross for my sins and yours. How cool is it that you have a permanent daily reminder! Also, you didn't have to pay for a tattoo! :) Not sure if it means anything, but I have the same thing on my right hand.
dove = holy spirit hand = god cross = Jesus Christ fig leves = adam and eve's fall from grace
They are referred to as The Southern Cross or The Crux. (Cross)
well, God "lives" with the angels and Jesus. Jesus sits at the right hand of God.
