Stations in the Street - Station 8
“For if men do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?” Luke 23:31
“Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
Luke 23:34
Romans crucified criminals naked.
In the Garden of Eden, man first felt shame from nakedness. At the cross, Jesus is shamed through forced nakedness.
“Strip off his clothes
Make him crawl through the streets
Lower still, lower still”
