Who is This Jesus?

Earlier this month the temperature overnight in Kansas City dropped into the 30’s, the morning was clear, and there was very little wind. I took my camera to work with me hoping for a photo opportunity as the Sun rose over the pond across the street from where I work. I knew that with the cold air and the warm water there there might be fog rising up over it. I waited until just before 8am then walked through the wet grass to a spot that would be sunny yet the fog, if there was any that is, would be between it and me. It all worked out better than I had hoped. I took several photos with my digital camera as the Sun poured through gaps in the fog. The best one shows the mirrored image of the trees surrounding the pond on the glassy smooth surface of the water.

Few who have seen this photo has been able to simply look at it without saying how it makes him or her ‘feel.’ My son-in-law made the comment that he expected to see some hobbits come rolling over the green hill in the foreground. A fellow I work with who took his vacation in New Zealand last year commented that it looked like one of those mystical places up in the mountains he fell in love with. In any case, my point is that everyone’s interpretation of this photo is his or hers. It can mean whatever they want it to mean to them because this photo is somewhat abstract in appearance. Is our Lord Jesus Christ like that? I mean, is who He is open to discussion? Are all those ‘abstract’ versions of Jesus in our time valid? Those who insist they are make a grave error. That error is that the Bible, the Word of God, Sacred Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus Christ is God.
