ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Gregory & Ernest Disney-Britton  |
Gregory Disney-Britton stands in our Jesus Room with “Christ with Wound” by Israel Solomon |
Jesus is smiling on this first Sunday of 2021. Yes, terrible things will happen, but we'll celebrate life anyway (John 16:20-22). In 2020, we got buried in crucifixions, but Jesus kept sending artists like Nina Chanel, Adam Russell, and Israel Solomon to remind us that he didn't just die. He got back-up, after delighting in life. In Israel Solomon's "Christ with Wound," Jesus isn't suffering. Surrounded by roses, he tilts his head and points to his wound with a smirk as if to ask, "Do you believe me now?"
In 2021, join us in exploring 12 ways to rediscover Jesus's smile:Are you an
artist? Are you a
collector? If you like what you see each week, please invite a friend to subscribe to our periodic
