Anyone Know?

Thanks, Steve, for the URL. Someone had emailed me low-resolution copies years ago, and I tried to track down the source on the internet and never got anywhere.

dopderbeck,
The gospellers included what they did in their narratives for reasons that were good to them, but their using words to portray the “historical Jesus” doesn’t necessarily preclude how these drawings portray Jesus.
Jesus said if we’ve seen him we’ve seen the Father. To me, the “historical Jesus” and seeing these drawings as images of the dad we wish we had are not mutually exclusive.
I suspect you might think this too…
Regards-
Dana

I love this kind of picture. And yet: is this the historical Jesus, or the dad we wish we had?

How about calling it, “let the little children suffer…”?

I think I would call it…
“After Supper”
I don’t know why exactly.
