What can we find if the shroud is athentic, the death and resurrection of Jesus is the very basics of our faith for serving him, without the resurrection, this is just a religion like all the others, but his sacrifice is much more, it is a direct pathway to the Father God and his living gives the hope of eternal life with him, what a price he paid and what a gift he offers
The Shroud is an image of a naked man, front and back, this image is on just the outer layers of the Shroud. Why is he naked, that is because the Romans used crucifiction, to not only kill the man but to totally humiliate him, hanging on a cross naked before a large group of people, what a price was paid and what a gift is offered. Experts that have examined the Shroud have concluded that the linen covering the body was of 1st century Jewish weave and style. Has anyone ever heard of a burrial cloth for a crucified man, nope Just this one, you see most cruccified men were of low class and most were criminals and after death, they were buried in a mass grave of cast out of the city for the scavengers. It was against the law for a Roman citizen to be put to death this way, the pain was just unbearable The scientists that were expert in pollen, after examining the shroud, found pollen on it that is only grown from plants in Judea, now the shrould is proven to come from First Century Israel and from Judea Provence, so now we come to what the image on the Shroud will tell us.
The back of the Shrould shows a flogging from a Flagrum (Roman whip, that has lead balls on the end of each branch, the image shows us a man that has over 700 wounds on his body mainly back, most men condemned to be cruccified sre not subjected to this flogging as a lot of them were dying before they went to the cross, but Jesus paid the full price for our redemption, back to a relationship with Father. Now the image shows a man with wounds on his head from the make shift crown he was forced to wear as the Soldiers mocked him, they placed a robe and a crown of thorns on him gave him a Scepter and proceeded to mock him, this is after the flogging that killed most men. The Shrould shows a face that was severly beaten as the Soldiers would hit him and then ask him to Prophesy, who hit you, they puled out his beard, as had been prophesied years before. how did that Prophet know his beard would be pulled out, he coudn’t know that without a divine revelation from God’s Spirit, another confirmation that this was Jesus being cruccified for our sins. All of the wounds on the body are exacrly what the Bible say’s happened and what was prophesied by multiple prophets all over 400 years before Jesus was born, I remember there were over 300 prophesys about his birth life, works and death some as far back as over a thousand years before his birth. Google the number those were just direct Prophesies many other indirect prohesies. The wounds in his wrist were they drove a 4 inch long nail through each wrist and the same nail hole tying his feet to the cross, the wound from the spear in his side and (as Prophesied) no broken bones, if a man didn’t die fast enough the Romans would break there legs, to prevent them from raising up to breath. The stains on the Shroud are human blood and that has been diagnosed and proven.
This was a brutal death and it should tell us how terrible sin is to God the Father to let the treasure of Heaven, his only son go through this for our redemption, it also tells us how much God loves man and wants every man to come into his kingdom and enter eternal bliss and peace because of Jesus sacrifice and he is the only way. When Jesus was asking if possible, let this cup pass form me, you see, Jesus knew what he had to go through, because Moses and ELijah explained it to him on the Mount of transfiguration, he declared him innocent, but went ahead and ordered the cruccifiction to save his own position.
