Fun fact: I like to go to museums. And I like to go by myself.
Right now at the BYU museum, they have a Carl Bloch exhibit.
This picture, called “The Daughter of Jairus,” made me cry. Right there in the middle of an eighth grade field trip, I cried. It’s such a beautiful painting.
{This tiny picture is no good at all. You have to see it in person}
To quickly sum up the painting, the daughter is dead, the mother is crying, and Jesus stands at the door, about to enter and raise the daughter from the dead.
Why it made me cry:
Christ is here.
He’s here!
No more waiting. No more sorrow. No more death.
He’s not far away, He’s not late, He’s not busy.
He’s here.
And He's here to heal me.
And you too.
Merry Christmas everyone. Christ is here.
