What Killed Jesus Christ?

What killed Jesus on the cross?
Was it the nails?
Was it the bleeding from the whipping on his back?
Was it broken heartedness?
Was it the crown of thorns?

Ever since Jesus was born one thing was consistent…someone wanted to kill him.


1. There was a threat of being killed in the womb, because women who get pregnant out of wedlock were stoned to death back in those days. Mary the mother of Jesus was at risk of being killed while pregnant with Jesus.

2. During pregnancy, the couple took a long and dangerous trip to Bethlehem on a Donkey. There was no room in the Inn for Joseph and Mary. Mary gave birth in a manger. There was risk of death to both Mother and Child.

3. After birth, Herod sent soldiers to kill the baby who was prophesied to be a future King.

4. During his temptation, the Devil tried to kill him by tempting him to Jump off the top of the Temple. Jesus resisted the Devil and rebuked him.

5. During his first appearance in the synagogue after reading Isaiah 61, the people tried to throw him off the cliff

6. The Pharisees tried to plot constantly to try to kill Jesus

None of these people were able to Kill Jesus.

• Death stood with trembling feet as the AUTHOR of LIFE was being crucified.
• Grave stood shook in fear as the man called RESURRECTION himself was being crucified.
• Hell stood far away in fear while Heaven’s darling was being crucified.

Matt Maher sings so accurately in his Song “Christ is risen” -
“Oh death! Where is your sting? Oh hell! Where is your victory?”
Death, grave and Hell wouldn't dare come near Jesus.

Then What Killed Jesus?
These are the words that killed Jesus – “IT IS FINISHED”.
It was a finished destiny, a completed plan, a fulfilled life.
He had finished his destiny. No one could kill him, no devil or human could touch him until his destiny was complete.

Jesus had to dismiss his own spirit and say – “Father into thy hands I commit my spirit”. Only after he dismissed his own spirit did he die.

As a child of God what will kill you is NOT an accident, disease or terrorist attack. These things can happen but nothing can take you out until your destiny is complete.

YOU ARE IMMORTAL, UNTIL GOD SAYS – “IT IS FINISHED your Work on earth is Done".

Nothing can take you out until God’s plan for your life is complete.
A completed destiny and fulfilled life is what will KILL a Christian.
Don’t be afraid your LIFE is not an accident….but rather it’s a PLANNED EVENT.
Jeremiah 29:11 talks about PLANS for your life and about a FATHER who knows those plans.
Don’t Fear all these negative news we hear on TV every day. Don’t Fear the lies of the DEVIL.

Listen to this powerful scripture….
Acts 13:36 – “Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction”

DAVID completed his WORK and then fell asleep.
It’s completed work and fulfilled destiny that killed David.
It’s completed work and fulfilled destiny that killed Jesus
“It is finished “- were the words that KILLED Jesus.

It’s the same with you as a child of God. So don’t be afraid God will help you fulfill your destiny.
Don’t live in Fear, boldly step out and be all God called you to be.
