Where you stand matters

Icon, “Christ in the Rubble,” by Kelly Latimore. It is inspired by the witness of Palestinian pastor and theologian, Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac. This year, he and his congregation in Bethlehem placed Christ under the rubble in the nativity of their church. And when asked where God is as Gaza is being bombed, Isaac replied, “God is under the rubble.”
 

This is Jesus in Gaza today: 

 
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 
 
36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
 
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 
 
38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 
 
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
 
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
 
Where you stand matters

"Christ In The Rubble" By artist Kelly Latimore of Kelly Latimore Icons... hoping to create "more dialogue among Christians in the United States during this holy season about the ways our beliefs and actions - or lack thereof - contribute to the violence we're currently witnessing in Gaza"

"Christ In The Rubble"
by artist Kelly Latimore of Kelly Latimore Icons

"Christ in the Rubble," illustrates the prophetic message that if Jesus was born today, he would be born "under the rubble."

 Kelly wants his art to be a ‘holy pondering’ - a process that potentially brings about a new way of seeing.
 
Our hope is that this icon, "Christ in the Rubble" will create more dialogue among Christians in the United States during this holy season about the ways our beliefs and actions - or lack thereof - contribute to the violence we're currently witnessing in Gaza. 
 
How can we shape a culture of Christianity where love truly has no boundaries? 
 
How do we create a world where our poor, homeless, refugee, Palestinian Savior - born to a teenage mother and later condemned to death - would be cherished had he been born today.
