1-15-2018 – A Word to the Wise: We know that when there is a total eclipse of the sun there is a temperature drop of fifteen to twenty degrees over a three-minute period of time. Three hours would have meant a temperature drop of at least twenty degrees and maybe as high as forty degrees. The average temperature for Jerusalem this time of year is about seventy degrees on average. For the three hours Jesus was on the cross it was anywhere from thirty to fifty degrees. This means it was from cool to almost freezing cold for a naked man on a cross.
