A PORTRAIT IN oils by a great artist may be viewed in different lights…
To the utterly inartistic eye, it may be esteemed or valued according to the cost of the frame, the paint, and the canvas. A farmer once exclaimed, when told of the value of a certain picture: “Why, I could paint all the fences and buildings on my farm at one-tenth of the amount.” But the artistic eye sees in the picture beauties that fill his soul with rapturous delight.
THOUGHT: So, to the unspiritual, the Lord’s Supper is mere bread and fruit of the vine, and so little of it that it is worthless. But the spiritual eye sees the portrait of Jesus, not only the bodily form, dying on the cross; but the loving heart of the redeemer is laid bare to view as it is nowhere else. (J. C. Ferdinand Pittman)
“For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body” (1 Cor. 11:29).
