Jesus was not left on the cross because, according to Christian belief, he died on the cross and was buried afterwards.
The events surrounding Jesus' death and burial are described in the New Testament of the Bible, particularly in the Gospels.
Here's a brief overview of the events:
- Crucifixion: Jesus was crucified by the Romans on the day before the Jewish Sabbath, which was a Friday.
- Death: Jesus died on the cross, likely from asphyxiation, after several hours of suffering.
- Burial: After Jesus died, his body was taken down from the cross and buried in a tomb by Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy follower of Jesus.
The belief in Jesus' resurrection is a central tenet of Christianity. It is believed that three days after his burial, Jesus rose from the dead, proving his victory over death and sin.
