Christ wanted his followers to throw out any Pharisaic-style public exhibitions and replace them with an authentic self—something that could be permanently nailed to the wall, reflecting Him as the artist in residence.

Beware the curated life. All seems well until the wind blows the easels down.

If we choose to offer up our real selves—our messy and surrendered selves—Christ collaborates with us to turn it into true art. Something eternal. Immovable. Attractive.
