Liz Hess is one of my favorite living artists.  This year she painted for Global Disciples – of which I was part of for many years – an amazing scene, the royal bejeweled crown lifted high between the lion and the lamb with grateful followers rejoicing in their cultural settings!  All over the world.  For instance, I think I see a dancing Amish girl down front and a Jewish rabbi and a Jewish lad helping to carry the crown, a study in contrasts.  That is true but it also true that the center of it all is the saving grace of God made possible through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.   That unifies everything!  Thanks, Liz, for sharing this amazing vision of the exaltation of Jesus Christ, here represented by the marvelous crown, and, of course, by the lion and the lamb!  I join, with many others, the thankful worshipers praising in many languages and cultures of the world.  Worthy is the lamb!
