Signs of the Times

with contributions from Donald E. Lewis, W. J. Brown

Chaplain (Capt.) Donald E. Lewisin the Chaplain's Corner, in theHarford Democrat-EnterpriseAberdeen, Maryland

There is a group of artists who paint scenes of modern life with Christ [Jesus] as the central character.... Some artists of the Renaissance painted [Jesus] in the same way surrounded by scenes of their day in the midst of friends and neighbors. These pictures...present a great religious truth which we have often overlooked—religion should be part of our daily living. The important thing about Jesus was...the life he lived, the spirit he imparted, the revelations he displayed.... Religion, if it is to be helpful and true, must never be solely a shrine of the past. Neither must it be reserved for certain days or certain moments of our lives.... Our religion must...pervade our every day and all our living.
