The image of Jesus on the cross

So many people seem to have this concept that when Jesus Christ was hanging on the cross dying he was dressed in a spotless white rope with a perfectly groomed appearance. In reality this is not the case at all. 

Matthew 27:28-30
"They took off his clothes and put a red robe on Him. Using thorny branches, they made a crown, put it on his head, and put a stick in His right hand. Then the soldiers bowed before Jesus and made fun of Him, saying 'Hail, King of Jews!' They spat on  Jesus. Then took His stick and began to beat Him on the head."

After this, being whipped and also having to carry the cross on His back all the way to the hill where He would have fallen on His face repeatedly He would have been pouring with sweat and blood.

Jesus went through this for us

Peace.
