Ele Não Desceu Da Cruz

Angélica Azevedo's song 'Ele Não Desceu Da Cruz' is a poignant reflection on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the profound love that motivated His sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the harrowing scene of Jesus on the cross, with nails driven into His hands and feet, blood flowing to the ground, and a crown of thorns piercing His brow. This imagery serves to underscore the physical and emotional torment Jesus endured, setting a powerful and somber tone for the song.

The song also highlights the mockery and disbelief Jesus faced from those around Him. One of the criminals crucified alongside Him questions why Jesus does not save Himself and them if He truly is the Son of God. Similarly, soldiers on the ground taunt Him, challenging Him to come down from the cross to prove His divinity. These moments of scorn and doubt contrast sharply with the unwavering purpose and love that kept Jesus on the cross.

The chorus of the song drives home the central message: Jesus did not descend from the cross because of His immense love for humanity. He chose to endure the suffering to become the Savior, a sacrifice that is beyond human comprehension. The repetition of the phrase 'Ele não desceu da cruz' (He did not descend from the cross) emphasizes the depth of His love and the magnitude of His sacrifice. This song serves as a reminder of the selfless love and the ultimate price paid for the salvation of mankind, inviting listeners to reflect on the significance of Jesus' crucifixion in their own lives.
