Jesus Gives a Mission

“‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’”

Timothy P. Schmalz (Canadian, b. 1969), Homeless Jesus, 2012, life-size bronze sculpture (Jesus identifiable only by the nail prints in his feet), installed at Regis College at the University of Toronto, a Jesuit school of theology.

 

“Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’”

He Qi (Chinese, b. 1950), The Great Commission , 2017, oil on canvas.
