Jesus loves the children. He loves the poor, the marginalized, the downtrodden. He loves the bullied, the freaks, the geeks.
He loves the otaku.
This illustration by 53C, in partnership with our good friend T.R. Racki, portrays the compassion and love of Christ, particularly for the children.
But being in anime style, it reminds me, too, that God loves you, dear reader. The story of the gospel is at once epic and all-encompassing, and deeply personal. Good Friday is about us all and it’s about you.
I encourage you to head out to church this Sunday (and maybe tonight, too). Come and see how loving our God is.
