A lady wrote in to a question and answer forum.

"Dear Sirs, Our preacher said on Easter, that Jesus just swooned on the cross and that the disciples nursed Him back to health. What do you think? Sincerely, Bewildered.

The answer given:

Dear Bewildered,
Beat your preacher with a cat-of-nine-tails with 39 heavy strokes, nail him to a cross; hang him in the sun for six hours; run a spear through his side…put him in an airless tomb for 36 hours and see what happens. Sincerely, Charles.

Please Don't really do that! - NO ONE survived a full Roman crucifixion. Those being told Jesus didn't die on the cross are being LIED TOO! If you do the research you will find the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth is a proven historical fact, accepted even by Atheists and skeptics! There is recorded proof, outside of the Gospel eyewitness accounts. If you want a short-cut - an investigative journalist, who was an atheist and skeptic did an in-depth investigation into not just the crucifixion but the resurrection, trying to prove it a hoax. A movie made about his investigation and the facts he uncovered was made - it is called "The Case for Christ".

As something more than a side note - If on Good Friday you walked the stations of the Cross on this website - most of the video clips used came from "The Passion of the Christ" , which is the most accurate portrayal ever made of the Crucifixion. The actor who played the role of Jesus in that movie was 33 year old, Jim Caviezel, a devout Roman Catholic and Christian who ALMOST DIED, during the making of that movie. He afterwards had to have surgery twice to recover from the role and died on the operating table during one of those surgeries but was brought back. I am putting an interview with him at Sext today.

The cross, from a worldly/secular perspective shows an innocent man was murdered by crooked politicians and religious leaders. But the empty tomb? Only a supernatural God could accomplish the resurrection.

The events of Easter shouldn't just be reduced to a creed or philosophy. We are not asked to believe the doctrine of the resurrection. We are asked to meet this person raised from the dead. In faith, we move from belief in a doctrine to the knowledge of a person. Ultimate truth is a person, his name is Jesus. We meet him. He is alive."
