Scripture: Luke 24:1-35

Denomination: Christian/Church Of Christ

Summary: If I had been Jesus, I would have shown the men on the road to Emmaus my scars and proved I had risen from the dead... but Jesus didn’t do that. Why?

But knowing the evidence was not enough. They needed to believe it, to accept it… and to build their lives around it.

CLOSE: A great artist by the name of Steinberg had taken in a beautiful gypsy girl to pose for his paintings. At the time he was working on his masterpiece "Christ on the Cross." The girl used to watch him work on this painting.

One day she said to him "He must have been a very wicked man to be nailed to the cross like that."

"No," he replied, "on the contrary, he was a very good man, perhaps the best man that ever lived. He died for others."

The girl looked up at him and asked. "Did he die for you?"

Steinberg was not a Christian at the time, but the gypsy girl’s question touched his heart and awakened his conscience and he became a believer in Jesus.

Excellent thoughts! I always enjoy reading brother Strite's words of wisdom. I am wondering if anyone knows "who" this "Steinberg" is in the closing illustration. I know this illustration appears in other places on Sermon Central, and even in book of illustrations by Charles Swindoll. Yet I can find no evidence of "who" is being referred to online. I found one art critic, Leo Steinberg, who passed away in 2011, that had some obsession with Renascence art of Christ on the cross, but after reading about him I seriously doubt he is the one in the illustration. If you know, please post. I like to be able to verify at least some fact of what is a true illustration before I use it myself. Thanks!
