[:en]PAINTING A PORTRAIT
The National Portrait Gallery in London, England, houses a treasure of paintings from across the centuries, including 166 images of Winston Churchill, 94 of Wkilliam Shakespeare, and 20 of George Washington. As we look at it, we may wonder: Is that what these individuals really looked like?
This is also true with the likeness of Jesus. Those who believe in Him are leaving an impression of Jesus on others. Are we paniting a portrait that represents the likeness of His heart? Paul urged His followers to reflect the humilty, self-sacrifice, and compassion of Jesus for others. Let us show to the world the heart and attitude of Jesus Himself. May Christ’s sacrifice of Himself motivates us to sacrifice ourselves for others. – (Bill Crowder)[:]
