Be afraid...

In the first chapter of Revelation you get a picture of Jesus...white robe...white hair...red eyes...sword coming out of his mouth.  All power and strength and might coming to save the world.  Maybe something like this?  (Thank you internet!)  You are relieved to hear the words, "Do not be afraid."

The most famous picture of Jesus, painted by Sallman is one you recognize immediately.  My professor called it the cocker spaniel Jesus...we instantly knew the picture he was referencing.







Can we so completely domesticate the extraordinary power of God?  Without even thinking about it!

Be afraid...be very afraid....
