Jesus, Aids and the spiritual life
This painting by WesleyMaxwell Lawton (Christ with Aids) reminds me of Luke 17:11-19 and challenges me to rethink my understanding of who Jesus was.
It also speaks to me in a haunting and persistent manner about what God wants from the church.
How do we truly glorify God? I need to reflect on his painting, on Christ, on suffering, on those who are left without hope in the light of Luke 17:18.
