Picture perfect
Commentary
We are indebted to the various sorts of artists through the years who have helped us to picture Jesus. A lot of us from a certain generation and background grew up with Warner Sallman paintings hanging in our churches, and those helped to form our picture of Jesus praying in Gethsemane, or perhaps knocking at the door of our hearts. Or perhaps it was some other artist that drew, painted, or sculpted an image of Jesus that became meaningful to you. Or maybe some actor on stage or screen, playing the part of Jesus, has helped you picture him.
