He's working up for carrying the full size one by starting with a smaller one.

Microdosing crosses to build up an immunity.
He'll need to lay off the crosses for a few weeks so they'll be effective when he goes to do the whole "dying for everyone's sins" schtick
It's called foreshadowing duh
Maybe he just let his kink go too far.
Early period "I didn't think the leopards would eat MY face"
It’s like Chekhov’s gun. Sooner or later, someone’s gonna get nailed to it.
Chekhov's Gun aka Christ's Cross.
Slide to the left
How do you know it's Jesus?
He's way too white to be Jesus
I'm surprised I haven't come across any historical accounts of people being offended at depicting Jesus as an It*lian.
Because the image was modified.
Still looks like a carpenter explains them their damn job.
"Why is your boom not fully lowered? Are you trying to find out why it's called the fucking boom?"
You're looking for consistency where there's naught to be found.
People write essays on Bloodborne lore written by a few Japanese guys. I think Christian lore can be appreciated too. It's all nonsense.
Jesus was not a Christian.
Give him a star of David, a yamuke, and a sense of humor instead. Three things that are very much not associated with Christians
This mensch has chutzpah, I tell you what!
Honestly now I just want Mel Brooks to direct the most Ashkenazi Jewish Jesus he can. Make the whole ordeal as Jewish as it gets. This rabbi schleped all across Galilee and what kind of thanks did he get? Dinner with a tax collector and disciples questioning every decision he makes…
And his mother? Oy vey! How Joseph put up with that meshugener I'll never know!
The period between "This is the torture device that was used to kill Jesus" and "This is the symbol our religion uses" must have been an interesting one.
Especially because information didn't travel very quickly in the ancient world. So, imagine you're a follower of Jesus from Damascus or something and you don't know of this new trend. You make a trip to Jerusalem, and you see people walking around wearing the torture device used on Jesus and think: "oh, these guys must be enemies of my religion".
A fish was the first Christian symbol.
It probably started as a 'fuck you' and spread like that.
It looks like it was in common use by around 200 CE.
That’s around the time we get one of the oldest depictions of Jesus, which is most definitely not intended to be flattering:
Fun fact: Jehovah’s Witnesses deny that Jesus was killed on a cross, and instead believe it was a stake. Crosses are as pagan as birthday parties.
Yeah, could be. Like gay people taking "fag" and "queer" back, or black people taking the n-word back.
Its a symbolic trademark fashion statement, like Freddy Kruegers fedora.
Must be in Soviet Russia.
Also the shadows are wrong. This pic is totally fake.
I knew Jesus was AI generated
The artist knows the audience: people who claim him most loudly as their savior are the least likely to recognize him.
Arguably, he already knew (being god and all that).
Eh I can kinda see him making an educated guess regardless of divinity. Say enough truth loudly enough and you start getting the nagging feeling that the people in power are probably gonna nail you to something.
Most people who call themselves "Christans" would not recognize Jesus even if he bit them.
They would seriously dismiss Jesus if he came back looking like a typical inhabitant of the Levant back then. And not carrying an AR15.
He's a time traveler, shape shifter, and immortal god, duh
If you believe it, you can achieve it. Manifest your goals!
