10th Station of the Cross: Jesus is Stripped of His Garments Painting

Jesus exposed. So it seems by worldly standards. We either expose Jesus or we reveal Him. Here, the centurions, like myself once, and you too, before we came to know Him, expose themselves: Jesus, covered in our sins, headed for death. Our hands, sullied a sickening green and murky brown with sin, grasp at His Robe, attempting to strip Him of His Glory, represented by His Priestly Robe, already saturated with the Blood of the sacrifice. We wanted to appropriate His Kingly Mantle and make gods of ourselves. The very same Mantle that He will gladly give us, to illuminate the world with the knowledge of His Presence, to reveal Him, once we humbly give ourselves to Him, and so reflect His Nature. This painting exposes our mirror image, before salvation, before the crucifixion and Resurrection: Jesus covered in our sin. I have often wondered about the lashes on His Body, His Torn Flesh, for us. Which lashes did I put there? How deep did I cut? Is this my name upon His Palm, written in His Blood? As heartbreaking as this is, it is also heart making. For God says that He will give us a heart of flesh for a heart of stone. Thank God, I can find myself there, written on His Palms, as the scriptures state, albeit in His Blood!
