This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was
raised from the dead.
(John 21.14
NRSV)
According to a legend, some lads were visiting that famous artist, Leonardo da Vinci. One of
them knocked over a stack of canvases. This upset the artist because he was working very
quietly and sensitively. He became angry, threw his brush, and hurled some harsh words at
the hapless little fellow, who ran crying from the studio. The artist was now alone again, and he
tried to continue his work. He was trying to paint the face of Jesus, but he couldn't do it. His
creativity had stopped. It's hard to hold anger and Jesus into your heart at the same time.
Wouldn't it be great if every time the specter of domestic violence or violence of any kind
raised its ugly head, we could say, "Into the scene stepped Jesus"?
Dear God, please have Jesus step into the scene of my life. Amen.
