Gorgeous Painting of Christ Somehow Christ Survives Fierce Blaze at Massachusetts Church
A beautiful painting of Jesus Christ has survived an enormous inferno which broke out at a Massachusetts church following a freak lightning strike.
The historic, 150-year-old First Baptist Church in the town of Wakefield was engulfed in flames Tuesday night, with the blaze destroying absolutely everything in its path. However, one precious item survived. A large painting that depicts the Lord Jesus Christ, standing in a white robe and with his hands bearing the marks of his brutal crucifixion remained unscathed.
According to reports, the artwork, which was hanging just within the church’s front doors, was almost completely untouched, with just a few drops of water falling upon it. “It’s a beautiful sign of hope and a reminder that Jesus is with us,” church member Maria Kakolowski told Boston 25. “I am personally just taking it as a sign and a reminder that the Jesus, the Christ that we serve is still alive and even though our church building is gone, our church is here. The God that we serve is still here.” {eoa}
