33 — Person: Jesus

Number: 33

Person: Jesus

Action: Dying on the cross (crucified at about thirty-three years)

Object: The cross

Scripture connection: Luke 3:23 — Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age; tradition and chronology place His crucifixion at thirty-three. John 19:17–18 — He went out bearing his own cross to the place called the Place of a Skull.

Memory hook: 33 = the years of the Christ at the cross. One Savior, one number — the age when He gave His life for the world.

Why this number? 33 years at crucifixion; the Christ. The number 33 ties the Lord to the year He laid down His life (1 John 3:16).
