There is a story told about Leonardo de Vinci, the great creator of the magnificent painting THE LAST SUPER.
Just before he began his epic work in the Sistine chapel, he had a violent quarrel with a fellow painter. In a rage he decided to take revenge by making the face of this painter the model for the face of Judas.
He did so and everyone could easily recognize the likeness.
But then it happened.
As he sought to paint the face of Christ he couldn’t.
Try as he might, each stroke was one more stroke of waste and each effort as effort in vain. Finally, he got the message.
The only way to capture the countenance of Christ was to paint out the face of Judas.
As soon as he did he was able to produce the masterpiece that endures to this day. This is you and I, my friends.
We cannot mirror the life of Christ if we hate another human being...and folk protest sometimes and say
"But I don't really hate anyone"...and the reply must be "Then why are you so hateful to he or she???"

(Luke 6:27) “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.”
