Paragraph on Supreme Ordeal:
 * **Date** || **File** ||  **Comments**  ||

In the case of the Bible, the ultimate supreme ordeal takes place in the new testament when Jesus is crucified. This was the pinnacle moment that the the whole bible was implying to. There are numerous prophecies of a human sacrifice coming to earth and taking on the "sins" of the human race in the new as well as old testament. This was the climax of Jesus's life because it was what he was his purpose in coming to earth. Also, the act of crucifixion would be defined as one of the most agonizing experiences known to man. The person in which would be crucified would be literally beaten within one whip lash of their deaths, then nailed onto the cross and would die slowly of suffocation. The paradox of this appalling victimization was that Jesus him self completely was innocent of any violation. The purpose of this unjust treatment was that Jesus would allegedly be taking all of the sin that any human had or ever would commit and paying the price for it by sacrificing his own perfect self. Another supreme ordeal could have been when Jesus went into the desert for forty days and nights. He was supposedly tempted by the devil and fasted for the entirety of the experience. However, I believe that the ultimate 'supreme ordeal' would have been the crucifixion. .
