A new religious statue in the town of Davidson, N.C., is unlike anything you might see in church.
The
statue depicts Jesus as a vagrant sleeping on a park bench. St. Alban’s
Episcopal Church installed the homeless Jesus statue on its property in
the middle of an upscale neighborhood filled with well-kept townhomes.
Jesus
is huddled under a blanket with his face and hands obscured; only the
crucifixion wounds on his uncovered feet give him away.
The reaction was immediate. Some loved it; some didn’t.
“One
woman from the neighborhood actually called police the first time she
drove by,” says David Boraks, editor of DavidsonNews.net. “She thought
it was an actual homeless person.”
That’s right. Somebody called the cops on Jesus.
And
the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Since
you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have
done it unto me.
that quote should be added as a plaque on this. This is seriously one of the MOST powerful pieces of art I’ve ever seen. Bravo.
