“Whoever welcomes me, welcomes my electric guitar”
Posted in: Christianity,Fandom,General by Tom Beaudoin on February 6, 2013
Or so Jesus is rumored to have said in one of the Gospels that failed to make it into the New Testament.
I was recently sent this picture and laughed out loud at each element: the double-neck guitar around Jesus, and his colorful admirers: the death-metal fan who throws the devil horns no matter what, the fan who politely reacts to rock music by clapping, the fan who is ready to stage dive onto The Lord, the fan who is too self-conscious to rock out but lifts an angled arm in the air awkwardly, the fan who stretches out his arms unselfconsciously because he is “having a moment,” and the fan who has not once enjoyed the show but is filming the whole thing on his smartphone.
Does anyone know who painted/designed/defaced this work of art? What do you see in it?
And — which scene of Jesus’ life is being pictured here? The Transfiguration? Resurrection? The Sermon on the Mount? The lost “Jesus — Live from Galilee” concert?
(Thanks to SM for sending.)
