Salvador Dali Painting

I recently discovered this imagine by Salvador Dali. We studied him in school and while some of his stuff was quite beautiful it all seemed a little strange. But, we NEVER studied his religious works which is sad really because they are his most beautiful. 

This one I like in particular because it uses the God perspective to paint Jesus. Yes I know God is Omnipresent, but thats a little hard to paint. This paint is comforting really, it invokes the image of the Father beholding his Son during his last hour.

Matthew:
10 Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.
11 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, 

12 Jesus said, "I thirst."  There was a vessel filled with common wine. 

13 So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth.

14 When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished." And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.

How blessed are we? We a father who sent his only begotten son to die on a cross so that we may have the rewards of heaven. We have the son who suffered greatly for us. We have the spirit to inspire us.  Finally, we have a mother who loves us so much she gave her only son to die for us, and she will constantly lead us back to him, for she knows his greatness in a personal and unique way. How wonderful that Jesus gave us his mother to be ours.
