RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

""The Resurrection of Christ" (1622) by Johann König

What makes life worth living? On Friday, we saw the dramedy, “Every Brilliant Thing,” where an actor shares his list of one-million things that make life worth living. Four things on our list are: #1. Six inches of snow; #2. Eight perfect push-ups; #3. Finding lost puppy-toys; and #4. The luminous colors of “The Resurrection of Christ” at the Cleveland Museum of Art. What makes life worth living? We know it’s worth it because we know that God is present (Ecclesiastes 3). That’s why Johann König’s “The Resurrection of Christ” is our brilliant thing of the week.
