If you visit the Ulm Museum in Germany, you can find a remarkable panel from the old Buxheim monastery dating to around 1500—Arma Christi with Five Wounds. It portrays not the full figure of Christ but the five wounds of the crucifixion—His hands, feet, and side. Theologians and artists have long pondered the five wounds of Christ. But the precious blood of Jesus flowed from more than five wounds. Think of the puncture wounds from the crown of thorns and His shredded back tortured by the scourge. 

Our minds are too finite, our souls are too limited, and our imaginations are too small to fully comprehend the love Jesus showed us on the Cross. Perhaps we’ll not be able to grasp all the ramifications of His death even in heaven, for it is bound up in the infinite mystery of the grace of God.

But we can say, “Thank You!” 

The blood of Christ, Thy spotless Lamb, O God, is all my plea; naught else could for my sin atone; I have no merit of my own, which I can bring to Thee.
