Thoughts inspired by Hans Holbein’s “Body of the Dead Christ”:
The Father sees His crucified Son, and says “This is my Beloved Son.”
He regards the corpse of Jesus, blue, bruised, scarred, twisted, hands and feet blackened like claws, sightless eyes lolling upward, jaw locked open, and He says, “Behold, My Son in whom my soul delights.”
He watches the body clothed and anointed for burial and declares, “I have both glorified My Son and will glorify Him again.”
