A wonderful presentation on Law and Gospel in art. . .

Hearing Law, Seeing Gospel: A Mockingbird history of Art ~ Matthew J. Milliner from Mockingbird on Vimeo.

Ahhh... beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it means whatever you want it to mean. Or is it? Listen to this fascinating seminar by Matthew Milliner of Wheaton College on Hearing Law, Seeing Gospel. WOW! What might have changed if all of us might have had somebody like Prof. Milliner in our obligatory Appreciation of Art class in college! He opens our eyes to see more than beauty but truth. This guy is a Lutheran (whether he knows it or not!).

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
