The images of Christ:
In Mark’s gospel we meet the human Jesus.
In Matthew’s gospel we learn from Jesus the Teacher.
In Luke’s gospel we see Jesus as compassionate and forgiving.
In John’s gospel we come in contact with His majesty and divinity.
By His life, death and resurrection He has purchased for us eternal life.
When I have trouble falling asleep, I try to visualize the image of Jesus in this picture. To me it denotes peace, love, compassion and hope. I am comforted. This is my go to Jesus.
Christ Painted by the late Deacon Ned Ostendorf
The crucified Christ feels like a piercing of heart and soul. This image drives me to my knees as I wipe away tears because of what He endured. I can’t bear to linger here, but I must for my soul.
