Even Death on a Cross
Mark doesn’t go into the details of the physical agony of the crucifixion but does mention the humiliation of Jesus’ clothes being divided by the soldiers, and His dying naked. After the fall, Adam and Eve found nakedness humiliating. An animal died for Adam and Eve to be covered, and Jesus died to pay the price for our sins. The Christian’s guilt and humiliation has been taken.
