Friday Art Reflection – Jesus In Art

Next week I will be teaching on our DTS on the topic of Missional Community, one of my deepest passions. Part of my teaching, which focuses on the idea that our understanding of Jesus shapes the nature of the community we become, I show a slide show of over a hundred images of Jesus. They are drawn from a broad spectrum, from iconography to parody. Over the next few Fridays, I want to use this art reflection time to look at some of the images and get your feedback.
While I do not know the name or artist of the above piece, it always hits me hard. I will hold back from sharing here and do so later in the comment section. However, I want to hear from you.
What does this painting say to you? How does it make you feel? Where do we go with what glean from it?
