Bible Question: Thank you and God bless you. I appreciate your well thought out answer. What do you think of Isaiah 53:3,4? Is it at all possible in light of these verses that Jesus' physical body did suffer some deformity? |
Bible Answer: Cwade: I realize that I answered this question already. However, I have been thinking on it. In Isaiah 52:14 Isaiah in his prophecy of the suffering of Christ tells us "his visage was so marred more than any man and his form more than the sons of me" I understand in plain English that this means that upon the cross he was almost unrecognizable as a human being due to the abuse he suffered. As I mentioned in an earlier post the scriptures seem to indicate that our risen Lord bears the marks of calvary in his body. His suffering and love is beyond compare Robert |
