Chris.
The people were astonished at the appearance of Jesus on the Cross. If we read Isaiah 52 and 53 we can understand why. It was an awful sight, the extremes of torture that they carried out on Him were so malicious. We tend to have a mistaken thought that the Cross of Jesus Christ was somehow a beautiful thing. If we hold that thought then we are greatly mistaken.
