For Christians with a strong and true faith, it does not change anything. Jesus was in the past, is in the present and will be in the future till the end of the age. Praise be to Jesus Christ, son of the living God.

When I was going through my reversion and I received the Holy Eucharist for the first time in years and knelt and closed my eyes after communion, I saw the Shroud and was Mesmerized!

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except by me."

Thank you for your sacrifice so that we may have life eternal. Praise you, Jesus!

[jimvermeer]

Holy Jesus we recognize you by seeing your face. Hallelujah

[jimvermeer]

Lord Jesus Christ you are showing yourself to the world for unbelievers that you are the Christ suffered servere torture and crucifixion and that you did this all for us because you loved us so much ❤️♥️❤️❤️ that you died under the pressure of my Sins and those of world. Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah praise Jesus Christ our Lord and savior ♥️✝️

[rubenschreppers]

I believe with all my heart that this was and is our Lord and Savior, our Father! God bless!

[zulyflo]

I felt something special in my heart when the face was revealed ❤️

[Monkeyymodels]

Jesus didn’t (and doesn’t) have to show us He existed (and still does) but He did, and I’m thankful to know Him personally, thank you for all that you do Jesus, love you o holy Lord, King of all kings! 💖

I had an overwhelming sense of just loving Jesus today, for everything He did for me and how many chances Ive been given over and over while still falling into sin.
I so much desire to embrace Jesus in His humanity because he did not have to leave heaven and experience everything humans did, to take on our collective sin and to die in our place.
I feel the weight of my imperfection. God knows we cannot overcome it on our own,

My reaction to the realistic figure of the body is similar to my reaction at viewing The Passion of The Christ - heartbreaking. In Sunday School and church services, we never saw such realism, and only minimal depictions of the violence done to his body. IF the shroud is not a true relic of Jesus, and IF the figure is not an accurate depiction of what He really looked like, at the VERY least it reminds us of how much He suffered for all of us.

[elizabethmelo]

For HE was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities, & through his stripes we are healed.

[BlanketyBlank]

I did not have to see this to know that he suffered and died for me. However, I do believe he received everyone of those marks and bruises for me! By his stripes we are healed!But what did he tell doubting Thomas? Blessed are they who have not seen but yet believe! Thank you my Lord and my God!🙏

[blockedever]

That is absolutely the face of our Lord Jesus Christ. I seen him in a dream . He lives. Please believe me . I was new coming back to my faith and going through terrible times and I was praying and doing bible study fervently, when I had a dream . He was sitting there in a white tunic robe. I asked if he was going to keep letting them hurt me, note I was talking of fellow humans, and he said yes. I felt terrible heartache at that moment and I tell you true, he also looked pained and said I'm sorry. Now to this day I have trial's but I know the sorry, was this has to be the way for my growth and elevation. Lord Jesus does not want us in pain however for our greatest good we must have trial's and tribulation. He loves us so very much that when you hurt, he hurts . Please, please believe he lives. he's working in our lives always doing his very best to elevate us as painless as possible but you have to be cleansed. I love him so much and I know he loves me with the greatest purest love you will ever know. There is nothing on this earth now I will not go through, to be in his arms forever.🙏🕊️❤️

What a truly horrific death He endured or us! This exhibit really helps the significance of His sacrifice hit.

[Homeheart]

This is amazing, and is in alignment with my witness. I am reminded this is just like when Jesus said to Peter, who do you say I am? Peter tried to shift the responsibility on to others, and Jesus said, No, who do you say I am, and Peter's witness and answer was amazing. This is good that it is being shown because many witnesses will come, and its one witness, even when they differ, will lead to agreement, and people will stop arguing with each other. Look forward to that day and am content now.

[scottcampbell]

An outstanding piece of work, and he is risen from the dead and he is Lord.

[RealBelisariusCawl]

Lord Christ, whether this is an image of You or not, this is a sobering reminder of the suffering You endured on our behalf.

Thank You.

[ericmoeller]

Praise be Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior✝️

My Heart sank and I was moved to tears the instant they showed the statue, and I was convicted in my soul "this is Jesus" And how can it be that it would be any other person when they can't figure out how the shroud was made, and when the description of His death is just as we see it here but even though crucifixion was typical in those times, crowning people with thorns was not - this was particular to Jesus because they claimed him king of the Jews. This is Jesus. Look what we did to Him, through someone else's hands but the spirits of evil and sin are the same generation to generation so our sins our evil did this to him. For the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us Father God and on the whole World.

When I first saw those wounds my stomach turned. It makes you wander why anyone would go through that in place of another. Only someone motivated by immeasurable love.
