This painting is entitled "The Good Samaritan". Gaze at it. What do you see? Notice the face of the helper becomes the face of the wounded man....or is it the other way around?
When I am "my brother's keeper" (Gen. 4:9) and I identify with his suffering, I take on myself the darkness that has hovered over him, and his gift to me is his own light filled face. As we reveal and seek recovery from hurts, habits and hangups in our lives...perhaps we will experience the dynamic painted here.
"Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ." (Gal.6:2
