Dear Friends

In the year 2000 the National Gallery in London put on an art exhibition of images of Christ. It was entitled ‘Seeing Salvation’. 

One sculpture was of a naked Jesus sitting on a rock wearing the crown of thorns and awaiting crucifixion. He looked so vulnerable and helpless. The impact of that statue on visitors to the exhibition was extraordinary. Several visitors put their coat around it to keep it warm. One woman said that because of seeing that sculpture she stopped to speak to a beggar in the street for the first time. 

Even when silent God’s faithful Son speaks salvation. He speaks salvation to you, to me, to all.
