The sexiest Jesus images in Christian history

Let the Son of God get you in the mood

He’s the dreamboat deity—the cosmic pin-up of history. Image after image of Jesus Christ is just heavenly. Christianity has the hottest deity.

I’ve been looking at depictions of Jesus over time, and a sexual suggestion is often very notable. Just watch Diogo Morgado, in 2013, lighting up the religion in the T.V. movie Son of God.

A very hunky man, tied up and greased up, with whips and chains?

Lord, those Christians are intense.

Jesus is often in curiously sexualized positions, his pale skin and muscular limbs splayed out—as his mother attends.

He is very typically unusually naked.

In Michelangelo’s Risen Christ, he’s really putting it out there—with hair, as ever, totally on point.
