Faces of Jesus...Christ by Rublev

Due to technical difficulties or operator inability (that operator would be Paul) I was unable to display this image during our teaching time this weekend. Here it is for your enjoyment. One thing Rublev tried to display when creating this icon is the fact that Jesus was truly human. As Christians we acknowledge Jesus is both God and man but we sometimes take his humanity for granted. We don't take his limitations seriously nor the struggles, normal aches and pains of everyday life, that Jesus undoubtedly confronted.

When we are confronted with what seem to be the unbearable limits of our humanity we can take comfort that Jesus, the human being, dealt with the same thing.
