Jesus Shed His Blood For Us
Face/Forehead – Sweat blood
And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

Face – Beard plucked out
I gave My back to those who struck Me,

I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
Head – Crown of thorns

Back – Scourged
I gave My back to those who struck Me,

And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV)
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

Hands and Feet – Nailed to cross
For dogs have surrounded Me;

They pierced My hands and My feet;
Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit. And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”
Luke 24:36-40 (NKJV)
When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
Side – Pierced
“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.
Zechariah 12:10 (NKJV)
But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.” And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
