Inspiration for today- for life:
His Sacrifice
I chose "The Crucifixion" by Degas because I visited it at the SAM for "Inspiring Impressionism" last year. Of course, it is a picture of our Lord's death on the cross. Although the actual happening would have been far more gruesome, moving many more than this simple painting could ever do, the piece comes back to me often, perhaps because of it's ironic nature. The sky is bright with little tufts of clouds, and the entire picture is so clean, yet it was Jesus. Dying. for me...
That's inspiring.
Today is Good Friday. The day to Remember.
