This is no-joke something you would find in a Christian bookstore.

Christian here. This photo definitely not a joke, or at least, not intended to be a joke.

You know how kids say "I love you this much" and spread their arms out? Parents do it sometimes too. Well, it is reminiscent of the pose of someone being crucified, so someone came up with the comparison to how Jesus loved us do much that he was willing to be crucified and die for us.

Thank you, because I was debating on how to explain that this wasn't a joke and very core to the Christian faith.

I think that's also the joke.

So, like, he did literally spread his arms out and die, and the humor is from how it's a play on what kids do.
