Image vs. Reality (Madeleine L'Engle)

Isaiah's description of Christ as the Suffering Servant
bears little resemblance to the pretty young man with
the beautifully combed beard and melancholy eyes we
so often see depicted. But Isaiah's description rings
much more true. In his own day, Jesus was a monster
to many, disconcerting them with his unpredictability
and the company he kept, vanishing to go apart to
pray and to be alone with his Father just when people
thought they needed him.



Peace Forever,
