Revelation 5:6 shows something that stops you short: a Lamb, standing alive - but still bearing the marks of having been killed.
Not healed over.
Still visible.
Still defining who He is
That image from the ancient vision in Revelation is a pictorial of Jesus - risen, exalted to the highest place in the universe, yet carrying the wounds of the Cross into eternity
... not as damage that never healed, but as an identity that never changed
And that matters more than it might first seem.
It means when Jesus looks at human suffering - your suffering, my suffering - He doesn't look on from a safe distance.
He also wears the mark of wounds.
He knows from the inside what it means to be broken by a world that doesn't care
That combination of vulnerability and victory is unlike anything else on offer anywhere
Want to go deeper into who Jesus really is — what was on His heart, what drove Him, what He was like?
