When we all think about crucifixion, first thought that comes to mind is, that Jesus Christ was crucified upon the cross! Jesus came to this earth fully knowing that He will be crucified. Why did he choose to die such a cruel death?

I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20
