June 10, 2007 Christ

In preparation for our Worshipfully event, I started a triptych, a set of three icons, of the Holy Trinity. This week started off with Christ, holding his right hand in blessing toward all, and a Bible in his left hand. Behind Christ's head is a cross. As Baptists, we tend to misunderstand the role of icons in our worship, confusing them with idols. However, these icons were used as devotional items, meant to focus attention on things higher than ourselves.
