I personally enjoy the flavor of pomegranate. Being a bit old and having a few meaty seeds in my teeth seems worth while.The point is, the first thing you do with something you don't want, is take ownership of it.
Jesus, we the Jews, want to take Your cross from you - as is every Jew's desire.
We therefore give your cross a Jewish identity and as God is our witness, You will be the last to carry it.

King James Bible
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Not all transgressions are bore by Yeshua.Just as the unblemished animals were sacrificed with the laying on of hands and the shedding of its blood, Yeshua came to us as the Son of God and bore the condemnation of all our sins. Just as the sacrificial offerings were to take on all sins through the laying on of hands and confession and then their blood shed, He accepted all the sins of the world passed onto Him and bore the condemnation of these sins by shedding His blood on the cross.
In this way, the altar of burnt offering is the altar of our heart. The fulfillment of the sacrificial services at the altar with the horn at every corner was fulfilled by His sacrifice. [1]
It would not surprise me that at the time of the actual Passover sacrifice, when Yeshua gave up the ghost, the lamb selected as the Passover lamb that year was in the process of being sacrificed in the temple in Jerusalem and it escaped the knife. This temple service that God instituted was the only process that God would accept as a method to approach Him. It is the only way God would offer mercy and forgiveness to the sinner. Through the atoning blood of our Lord Yeshua, performed in ritual for years at this altar, do people get an inkling of how sacrifice removes sins from the sinner. We need to get closer to God and it will only be available through His blood ransom for our sins that we are able.[2]

Particularly the article upon the wood was a natural element of bronze.Interesting that in the desert, the snake hung on the cross was a by faith healing when looked upon. I have read some interesting articles making the connection to Yeshua on the cross sacrificed as sin for us.
Was such an element so specific amongst the congregation.Hi there,
So I posted something about seeing the cross in a Jewish way. My friend HARK! asked me to post here.
The point was simply this: people see in the cross, what they want to see.
The foundation for this observation was simply thus: people of the world, do not know how to distinguish between one Jew and another - as Jesus said "if they hate my word, they will hate yours" - but why is this the case?
The point being the case that people will see themselves in Jesus on the cross, is that it will be when other people like them do the same - and this will not happen without Jews being first!
Thus, I said with confidence that the cross, was a Jewish cross!
If I was going to teach something, I wouldn't know what it was: I am basically just relating how I have been hated, that is, that it doesn't or didn't mean anything to those who hated me, that I could have been more Jewish than I was.
Bronze itself has its own connotations. Bronze is the also referred to as brazen or brass. Bronze is a somewhat inferior quality of metal to silver and gold.Particularly the article upon the wood was a natural element of bronze.
If I recall correctly there is another article of bronze instructed to be shaped for use in The Mishkan.
Exodus 30:18
Blessings Always
There are other uses for bronze in The Mishkan(tabernacle).Bronze itself has its own connotations. Bronze is the also referred to as brazen or brass. Bronze is a somewhat inferior quality of metal to silver and gold.
It is the making of the altar in Exodus which the priests would slay the animal sacrifices. Exodus gives instructions that the items inside of the Tabernacle (the menorah, incense altar, show bread table, and the Ark of the Covenant in the most Holy) were to be made of gold, but everything outside the tent was bronze. So we have a bronze outer court and a gold inner sanctuary.
I believe there are a lot of hints given by the choosing of bronze as the material to make the articles.
Numbers 21:9
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
Nehushtan (Hebrew: נחשתן Nəḥuštān [nəħuʃtaːn]) is the derogatory name given to the bronze serpent When the Jews crucified Yeshua, lifted him up on the pole, He, in their eyes was evil. To them he represented a serpent. Nāḥāš, Hebrew for "snake", is associated with divination, including the verb form meaning "to practice divination or fortune-telling". So the truth becomes a lie in the ears of the religious leaders. Yeshua's prophecies scared them. It is the negative photo before process. So I could tie the outer court application in the redemption from sin with brass used, and with that the brass serpent on the pole.
