Subject: Was Jesus crucified naked? |
Bible Note: Thanks for your answer. You're right it doesn't really matter. But it is interesting to think about how Christ would have felt on that cross, and had he been naked there would have been another whole level of humiliation that he went through for us. Also I've wondered if the undressing of Christ was symbolic. As in, when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden and realised they were naked, God made coverings for their sin, but on the cross that happned in reverse. Jesus took on the sin of the world and was uncovered and exposed to a holy God. |
