At 34 years of age was He sacrificed for our sins; He was then hale and strong, although His body may have been emaciated by suffering, and His face more marred than that of any other man yet was He then in the perfection of manhood. Methinks I see him then. His goodly beard flowing down upon his breast, I see him with his eyes full of genius, his form erect, his mien majestic, his energy entire, his whole frame in full development,-a real man, a magnificent man-fairer than the sons of men, a lamb not only without blemish, but with his powers fully brought out. Such was Jesus Christ–a Lamb of the first year-not a boy, not a lad, not a young man, but a full man, that he might give his soul unto us.” Spurgeon, C. H. (1998). Vol. 2: Spurgeon’s Sermons: Volume 2.
