THE SACRIFICE  OF  JESUS  CHRIST

 
Christ died to pay the penalty of our sins.  Without the shedding of blood there is no remission.  Christ suffered before His crucifixion, this suffering was for many things look at the following scripture

Isa 53:5  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 

Christ was nailed to the cross at the 3rd hour, taken down again, appeared before Pilate for the second time, beaten again and then nailed back on the cross at the 6th hour.

Notice He was crucified, nailed to the cross,  at the third hour.

Mar 15:25  And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 

At the sixth hour, he was before Pilate again and presented to the crowd.

Joh 19:14  And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

Joh 19:16  Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 

Here is the reason for Christ being crucified twice.

Heb 6:6  If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
