Was the Manner of Jesus’ Death Significant?: Was there significance in the exact manner Jesus died, or was it just circumstantial because of the culture/location/era in which He lived?

Why Did Jesus’ Body Still Have Marks?: Why did Jesus' resurrected body still bear the scars and injuries which brought about His death?

Why wasn't Jesus' body also perfect, as ours will be?
