Picture worth a thousand words

This picture preaches.



"The sinners to whom Jesus directed His messianic ministry were not those who skipped morning devotions or Sunday Church. His ministry was to those whom society considered real sinners. They had done nothing to merit salvation. Yet they opened themselves to the gift that was offered to them. Through table fellowship Jesus ritually acted out His insight into Abba's indiscriminate love." -Brennan Manning

On further reflection (this pic is presently my background) I love this depiction of Jesus in the picture. Two reasons:
1-He is breaking bread which symbolizes intimate fellowship.
2-It is picture of the comfortable Jesus that many of us relate to in an uncomfortable setting. I think it demands the viewer to look at their own life.
