What does it mean for Jesus to show His wounds?

Answered in 1 source

For Jesus to show His wounds signifies His enduring sympathy for human suffering and the essential nature of His sacrifice for salvation.

When Jesus shows His wounds, it is a powerful declaration of His empathy and connection to human suffering. According to Hebrews 2:17-18, He became like us in every way, enabling Him to be a compassionate High Priest who intercedes for us. His wounds are a source of hope for believers, reminding them that He understands their struggles and pains. Additionally, the presence of His wounds in heaven underscores that His atoning work is complete; they are the evidence of the price He paid for redemption (1 Peter 2:24), reinforcing the significance of His sacrifice and assuring believers of their acceptance before God.
