Reminders..

I had the privilege of a visit to the National Gallery of Scotland, in Edinburgh today! Rembrandt's etchings were awesome to see and especially thought provoking were his etchings of the crucifixion of Christ. One of his original ones had light shining on all three crosses, but the second painting had darkness covering the people around the crosses and the unrepentant man on the cross as a symbol of separation from God - light was only shining on Christ, the repentant man on the cross and some of the other people as a symbol of Christ's forgiveness and future hope.

The Trinity Altar Piece by Hugo van der Goes was another thought provoking picture. What a reminder of Christ being the "exact representation of the Father".

Ok, I'm very tired tonight and not sure if this had made much sense! Hope it has!
