This image, titled The Lesser Brethren by the artist Margaret Tarrant almost looks like it belongs in a Disney animation, the animals all around the figure as, perhaps he whistles a jolly tune. It’s also a familiar scene for me, I remember seeing images of Jesus, very similar to this one on our church walls when I was younger and, even on church walls only a couple years ago. It’s not an Australian image of Jesus, the animals give that away but I wonder how you respond to the image.
Ponder:
How do you respond to the image of Jesus by Margaret Tarrant?
Have you seen images like this in your travels?
How does this image ist with the image of Jesus that you’re reading of through this season?
