Painting Jesus

I shared this illustration to close the service yesterday morning:

An artist once painted a picture of The Last Supper. He took it to the writer Tolstoy for his opinion. Carefully the Russian master of words studied the canvas. Then, pointing to the central Figure, he declared; “You do not love Him.” “Why that is the Lord, Jesus Christ,” exclaimed the artist. “I know,” insisted Tolstoy, “but you do not love Him. If you loved Him more, you would paint Him better.”


How much do you love Jesus?


How are you painting Him - through your love, your words, your actions - in the world around you?
